Painting with the Sun: Cyanotype Botanical Printmaking

Sunday, July 27 | 11AM–1:30PM
Wildhaven Farm & Forest Retreat | 9696 NC Hwy 181, Newland, NC

Let nature be your brush and the sun your paint. In this relaxing, hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to create vivid blue-and-white botanical prints using the magical art of cyanotype—a camera-free printing process powered by sunlight.

Led by the always-inspiring Lindsey Rae Art, we’ll start with a simple walkthrough of the process and how it works, then head out to explore Wildhaven’s gardens, forest edges, and wild nooks in search of leaves, blooms, and shapes that spark your creativity.

Back at our open-air studio, you’ll arrange your foraged finds onto light-sensitive paper and use the sun to make your own one-of-a-kind nature prints—no darkroom required.

🌿 Everyone will leave with several finished pieces, including a framed favorite, ready to hang or gift.

🥂 Bubbles, bites, and beauty all included. Come slow down, soak up the mountain sun, and create something wild and wonderful.

No experience needed. All supplies provided. Just bring your sense of wonder.
🎟️ All ticket sales are final but transferable—and absolutely magical.
