Join community gardener and artist Madge Evers for a beginner-friendly art workshop and book launch of Madge’s book, “Printing with the Sun.”

At 4:00 pm, Madge will host a fun, creative, and beginner-friendly workshop on Botanical Cyanotypes, a magical, simple, camera-less technique that results in graphic blue and white prints. Participants will be introduced to the process developed in 1842 and will use plants to create a photographic image, called a photogram. Each student will have the opportunity to make up to two or three prints to take home. All materials, including pressed plant material, will be provided, but participants are welcome to bring their own pressed plants to use in their compositions.

At 6:00 pm, we will honor Madge’s book, all about cyanotypes and featuring Madge’s work alongside other local artists’ work! “Printing with the Sun” will be available for purchase!

Register for the 4 pm workshop here! All are welcome (no registration needed) for the 6 pm book launch celebration.

Tickets for the workshop are on a sliding scale, from $5-35. If the fee is a barrier for you, please select the “free” option. If there are no more free tickets left, email molly@growfoodnorthampton.org.

All ticket proceeds will be donated to Northeast Farmers of Color Land Trust.
