Sun Printing Workshop at the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens

Fall in love with the beauty of sun printing! Considered a precursor to modern photography, sun printing was invented over 150 years ago. This process, also known as Cyanotype, results in a negative photographic image on a dark blue surface. In this workshop use beautiful natural materials inspired by the Botanical Gardens to create a one-of-a-kind tote bag! This class also includes a short walking tour of the Botanical Gardens. All supplies are included.
