This month we are using a type of camera-less photography called cyanotype to create intricate natural designs on a bandana with plants and feathers!

Instructor Surelle Strike will lead students in Designing their bandana, and watching at the sunlight exposes the negative space around the objects. Students will leave with a one of a kind printed cotton bandana! This class is great for all skill levels, but this particular version of the class is geared to seniors only.
