MOCA Makers: Cyanotypes with Anna Goraczko – March 8 – 1 – 3 PM
Make your own photographic blueprint using the sun's UV rays with Miami-based artist Anna Goraczko. In this workshop, she will guide you through producing cyanotypes, a camera-less form of photography, a technique also explored by MOCA exhibiting artist, Andrea Chung. Each participant will learn the history of this medium and get hands-on experience with the process, from preparing paper to printing an image using plant materials, found objects, and film negatives. Materials will be provided, and guests are encouraged to bring personal items if desired.
