Silver Street Studios at Sawyer Yards, East Gallery

Join us for the closing celebration in conjunction with our exhibition Contact: Making Images Using the Cyanotype Process. Our final cyanotype workshop will be held on this day from 2-4PM, when you can learn how to create unique cyanotype images using basic materials provided by FotoFest.

Guests who have made cyanotype photographs during any of our Contact workshops are invited to visit the exhibition to collect their images and take them home to enjoy. If you cannot make this event but wish to collect your image from a previous contact workshop, please email info@fotofest.org with the subject line “Contact Pick-up.”

Materials for the workshop will be provided, but guests are encouraged to bring objects to use for photogram silhouettes such as flowers, small mechanical pieces such as gears, chains, and wire, or any other material with a unique silhouette. If you are interested in creating a cyanotype image from an existing photograph, follow the Photoshop instructions in this video, and email your JPG file to info@fotofest.org with the subject line “Contact Negative.” FotoFest will print negatives submitted at least 48 hours in advance (by or before Thursday morning, May 18) on transparency paper at no charge.

This reception is free to attend and open to the public. All ages are welcome.
