SUMMARY:Sun x Seaweed: Cyanotype Workshop with Oriana Poindexter
DESCRIPTION:Register Today!		\n \n  \nJoin Oriana Poindexter and the Catalina Island Conservancy for an interactive cyanotype workshop. Learn this early alternative photographic process and use organic materials to create your own cyanotype prints using photochemistry techniques first developed in the 1840s.  \nCyanotype is an alternative photographic process used to create photographic prints in the distinctive shade of Prussian blue and white without the use of a camera\, exposed with the sun and developed in water. This workshop will teach you the fundamentals of the cyanotype process and its history\, culminating with each participant creating three original cyanotype prints.  \nThe resulting prints will serve as records of the state of the ocean and your creative process on that particular day\, recorded in the blue and white palette of the sea itself.   \nIf you have materials you’d like to bring to use for printing (sentimental objects\, dried botanicals\, etc)\, please feel free to bring them.  \nRegistration fee includes all materials and instruction\, as well as light refreshments and seaweed snacks. Complete registration to reserve a spot – space is limited. All ages are welcome. Children below the age of 16 must be accompanied by a ticketed parent or guardian.  \nNot included: Travel to the island. If coming from the mainland\, book your ferry to Avalon through the Catalina Flyer (Newport Beach) or the Catalina Express (Dana Point\, Long Beach\, San Pedro). A shuttle will be provided from Avalon to the Wrigley Memorial & Botanic Garden for registered participants\, details forthcoming after registration.  \n
