"Before there was Instagram..." Summer Sun Printing (Rain Date)

Presented by Mass Audubon's Long Pasture Wildlife Sanctuary at Mass Audubon's Long Pasture Wildlife Sanctuary

Come to this workshop to make beautiful photographic nature prints without using a camera. Artist and photographer Bruce Childs will introduce participants to antique sun printing methods including traditional brush-on Cyanotype processes. 

The class will include an outdoor component where participants will collect natural objects around the Long Pasture property and then will focus on using those objects to make prints.

All age groups will enjoy this unqiue foray into the world of print making and will be able to take home samples of their own work.
