Cyanotype unique direct prints & Cyanotype contact prints, limited edition of 10

What drives my  most recent work is that while I love using a lens to capture light I am recently enjoying more of  the iterative, step-by-step  process of making.  I am discovering how building towards something that isn’t preconceived can welcome experimentation and adventure - how the process becomes an integration of each texture, color, pattern - like fabric. Something cumulative out of small parts, not always greater than, but a cooperative effort that creates a subtle hand-loomed effect in the end.  Nowhere have I been better able to explore this approach to my art than with the Cyanotype photographic process.

Cyanotype is the photographic process that came to mind when I was traveling abroad with students this Summer as a way to connect them to the land and cement their understanding of exposure, history and process through experience. We made blue impressions of coneflower, sage, clover and blackberry in the sun of the Czech Republic. Later on my own, as I searched for my own connections to the land traveling to the far West coast of Ireland, and made my own impressions in blue.

2019 RACC Art of Leadership Council

Tonight was the official graduation! I and just over 50 other people completed our seven month session with RACC ( Regional Art and Culture Council) learning, networking and finding out how to run a successful Arts organization either by being members of or founding a board - or, in my case, just researching how one starts a productive, thriving arts organization. I was honored to be a part of this process and am so excited to see what all of my fellow graduates are doing with their new knowledge!

Photography Foundations for Fibers Workshop

Saturday, April 6th 10am - 1pm

All Levels

$75.00

Register at Starlight Knitting Society

Pre-Registration is required.

Developing a Photographer’s Eye isn’t as hard to come by as some think.  As makers, we already appreciate the essential elements; texture, color, light… but to hone those skills and figure out how to get the camera to cooperate, that can be challenging. 

This class concentrates on understanding the foundations of photographic exposure, light modification and composition, all with a goal of getting the photographs of the materials you work with and the projects you create looking just as great on screen and in print as they do in person. 

Materials: Your Camera, Note-taking materials, Bring (or wear) item(s) at any stage of completion you would like to photograph and at least one digital version of an image you would like to share with the group so we can troubleshoot or re-create.
