Cyanotype is an old printing process that was popularized for blueprints and has since become a way to create unique art through science. Learn all about the process and the chemistry behind cyanotype before we go out into the Gardens and collect botanical inspiration for our pieces. We will create our own individual artwork on archival paper that can then be taken home, washed, and display ready within 24 hours.
