Create Your Own Botanical Cyanotype Prints

Join longtime instructor Natalie Joy Tremblay for a hands-on cyanotype workshop inspired by the beauty of the garden. Natalie’s classes are known for their welcoming atmosphere, thoughtful instruction, and the creative confidence they spark in students of all experience levels.

You’ll learn the basics of cyanotype, an alternative photographic process that uses sunlight to create striking deep-blue botanical prints. Using foraged foliage and plant material gathered from Western Hills Garden, Natalie will guide you through composition, exposure, and development techniques as you create your own one-of-a-kind botanical blueprints.

No experience is necessary. All materials are included, including pre-coated cyanotype paper. Participants will leave with several finished prints and a deeper appreciation for the intersection of art, nature, and observation.

$100. All materials included. Snacks and a simple vegan lunch served. Please bring your own lunch if you have specific dietary restrictions.
