This workshop will teach the basics of cyanotype, a light-sensitive photographic process that develops "cyan-blue" prints. We will place assemblages of found objects onto coated paper and watch as the sun develops these objects into images. All materials will be provided. This free workshop is a wonderful chance to practice your artistic skills in a historical setting.
In case of rain, we will use crayons to create collages out of rubbings from found objects.
Cory Kram is a multidisciplinary, community teaching artist living in Philadelphia who specializes in sculpture, painting, and fiber. She is greatly inspired by the ephemeral images and objects that lie on the everyday plane of modern existence and often incorporates found materials in her practice. Her practice extends beyond traditional art spaces; she is deeply committed to community engagement, social justice, and collaborative art. As the 2025 Teaching Artist in Residence, Cory will facilitate a series of free workshops that are open to the public.
