Cyanotype Workshop

What better way to embrace the sun than solar printing? On July 12th, join us with artist Sonia Bazar for a cyanotype workshop.

Workshop participants are invited to create their own cyanotype print using pretreated cyanotype fabric, found plant matter and personal household items. During the workshop, Bazar will guide guests in creating their pieces, and will demonstrate how the medium is used in her artistic practice. Upon bringing the cyanotypes home, prints can be stitched into a tote bag, hoodie, or even a quilt for an added special touch. All levels of experience are welcome! 

Meeting Point: We will meet the corner of Rue St-Dominique and Av. Fairmount (approximate address: 5198 rue St-Dominique). Afterwards, we will make our way back to the Museum of Jewish Montreal (5220 boul. St-Laurent).

In addition to foraged materials, guests are encouraged to bring items from home! We suggest objects with elements of translucency and that can easily fit under a sheet of glass. Some ideas include:

●     Lace

●     Mesh

●     Jewelry

●     Photo negatives

●     Small figurines

●     Dried flowers

●     Buttons

●     Thread or yarn

Tickets are $25, with all necessary materials provided. Due to limited capacity, advanced registration is encouraged.
