Cyan Art Studio is dedicated to making beautiful blue prints using the Cyanotype photo process from the 1840s. You can make prints by hand from photos in your smart phone, stencils, drawings and objects. The studio will provide all necessary materials and guide you through the process. It's quick, easy, and ANYONE can do it.Check out our Facebook Page for lots more videos, photos, music and very very blue prints...

 

Some people have had questions about what an "Open Studio Printing Party" is like. Here are the answers to those questions:

 

Q: How does it work?

A: Drop in to my studio ANY time between the posted open hours, admire the dozens of cyanotype prints on my walls. I'll explain to you briefly what a cyanotype is, and you can watch me make one, or watch me help another customer make one, or make one yourself.

​

Q: Is it a workshop?

A: Not really, it's more of a "drop-in" kind of activity. It only takes about 15-30 minutes to make each print, if you decide to make any. I do plan to offer more formal 2-3 hour workshops soon, but this is just a drop-in "See What It Is" event. But you can ALSO go home with an actual hand-made piece of art, for about the price of a meal (read below for pricing).

 

Q: Do I need to stay there for a few hours?

A: No, there's absolutely no commitment. You can just come in, look around and leave if you want. If it's not your cup of tea, no problem. Just please tell your friends who might like it to come check it out.

 

Q: Is it free? How much does it cost?

A: Coming into my Open House Printing Party is absolutely free. Some people have come in just to enjoy the thrill of watching me or someone else develop a cyanotype print. It's very satisfying! If you decide to make a print, you pay per print.

5x7 inch - $10 each

8x10 inch - $20 each

Bigger sizes are possible, but require another day for the process, which can be arranged.

 

Q: Do I need to bring anything?

A: Nope. I have all the materials and equipment needed.

 

Q: Do I need to have some art experience?

A: Nope. ANYONE can make a cyanotype print. Even YOU!

 

If you have more questions, don't hesitate to EMAIL me. I look forward to making art with you!
