Join the Friends of the Mt. Vernon Trail for a fun, outdoor activity and learn how cyanotype paper works with the sun to create images. This activity is from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. on Sunday, April 19.
Cyanotype is a form of photographic printing that uses sunlight to create vivid cyan-blue prints with white designs. First developed in 1842, it was initially used to create copies of drawings and diagrams – giving us the word blueprint.
Cyanotype prints are beautiful and easy to make. No experience necessary.
This activity takes about 20 minutes and it's fun!
