Join us at Osamequin Farm for a special collaboration this spring with Katama Murray & Nathaniel Sharp! This event will kickoff with a bird walk around the farm property and trails, followed by a hands-on art workshop focused on the cyanotype printing process. Towards the end of the educational outdoor walk led by Nathaniel, participants will learn about mindful foraging practices with Katama, and utilize natural objects from the farm to create cyanotype prints in the barn. Explore the creative possibilities within cyanotypes to make one of a kind prints! Learn the basics of capturing shadows through sun printing on both fabric and paper, utilizing different techniques for all levels of experience.
All ages and levels of experience are welcome - Children must be accompanied by a registered adult.

Learn the basics of creating monotype prints using a variety of materials at Featherstone Center for the Arts! In this experimental workshop, participants will understand the process of using water-based inks to create one of a kind monoprints on paper through a press. Utilizing a plexiglass plate as the image matrix, elements of print and painting are combined to produce unique pieces. Unlike most printmaking processes which employ replication of a repeated image, monotypes encourage loose, imaginative making! Using a combination of added materials and expressive mark-making, students will create a series of monoprints and ‘ghost’ prints on paper which explore the creative potential within this print process.​
