Oakland-based artist Melinda Katz leads this cyanotype workshop using mildly photosensitive paper, found objects, sunlight, and time to produce unique images in Prussian blue and white. Participants explore how different materials, their opacity and thickness, and the amount and angle of UV exposure affect the final composition. Two sheets of treated A5 paper are provided, along with found objects. Participants are encouraged to bring their own small objects or plants (pressed plants are ideal).

Melinda Katz is an unconventional multidisciplinary artist exploring the relationships between color, symbolism, and identity. They are currently working in Oakland on an oil painting portrait series of contemporary tricksters.
