Cyanotypes & Gold with Marcy Palmer (Online)

@ Elevate your cyanotype work in this hands-on workshop exploring alternative approaches to the process. Students will experiment with gold leaf or imitation leaf, metallic paint, powder, and wax to enhance and transform cyanotype prints. Through demonstrations and guided practice, we will explore various application techniques, paper and media choices, and how the integration of metal and cyanotype can shape the meaning and visual impact of a work.
