Botanical Cyanotypes
Art Workshop: Botanical Cyanotypes
Presented by: Madge Evers
June 7 10:00 am – 1:00 pm
Magical and simple, cyanotypes are a camera-less technique that results in graphic blue and white prints. Developed in 1842, cyanotype utilizes specially treated paper and sunlight to create dreamy, evocative images. We will use this alternative photographic process together with pressed plants to make beautiful botanical cyanotypes. All supplies will be provided, but participants are encouraged to bring objects or pressed plants with interesting silhouettes from home to use in their compositions. Class size limited to 15 students.
Materials fee (required):$15
Madge Evers is an educator, gardener, and visual artist whose practice involves foraging, the cyanotype process, painting, and book making. Recent exhibitions include Harvest, Forage, Found at the Danforth Museum, Nor’easter at the New Britain Museum of American Art, and a solo show at the Brattleboro Museum in Vermont. Artist residencies in Ireland, Virginia, Maine, and at Chautauqua and Mount Auburn Cemetery have allowed Madge to interact with new landscapes and their histories. Madge lives and works in western Massachusetts where she is working on a book about the cyanotype process that will be published by Hachette/Storey in 2026.
