Studio Lab | shades of blues Workshop
Nov 14, 2020
12:00pm
—2:00pm
Proceeding the shades of blues conversation, join Ivan Forde and Dave Adewumi in an online workshop where participants will create a collective quilt using the cyanotype process. Discover the beauty of Prussian blue through exposing found and significant domestic objects to sunlight in your own living spaces—the magic of the luminous blue will be evoked in an improvised performance by Dave Adewumi. Adding additional layers through collage and watercolor will bring each participants’ unique voice into the final collaborative piece and reveal art’s potential to heal (therapy), inspire (creativity), and empower (civic engagement).
All participants will receive cyanotype kits.
A note to participants: Cyanotype is a UV sunlight process. Please ensure you have access to the outdoors or a sunny window to insure the optimal processing of the cyanotype print.
The workshop is by application only as space and supplies are limited. The application is now closed. Selected applicants will be notified by Friday, October 30th.
