Create one-of-a-kind, sun-printed cyanotype wearables. Cyanotype is a photographic printing process that produces a cyan blue print. You can coat any porous material with the photosensitive solution, then layer objects of different opacities to create an image imprinted by the sun. Bring in any white cotton based fabric, including shirts, dresses, skirts, shorts, pants, tote bags, socks, curtains, towels or your own sewn design to transform into a unique personalized cyanotype. These can make for the perfect conversation starter and/or a one-of-a-kind gift!

  • For this workshop students should bring in the white cotton fabric item they'd like to cyanotype. This can range from socks, shirts, dresses, tote bags, shorts, etc.

Metz, Evie

Evie Metz is an award-winning animator, photographer, and interdisciplinary artist. Her creative practice explores the cycle of life and the values of human beings.

Her introduction at an early age to photography was through a darkroom. That one-of-a-kind magic inspires her more experimental and expressive approach to making pictures and engaging the world around her. She also specializes in fabricating puppets and miniatures for the worlds she handcrafts and brings to life through stop-motion animation.

Her passion for teaching manifests in encouraging people to be their authentic selves while discovering their creative vision. By providing confidence with tools, techniques, and skills for professional execution, she seeks to cultivate a supportive community that begins in the classroom and continues on afterward.
