Cyanotype Workshop with Brian Ellis and The Gowanus Dredgers
Gather materials for cyanotype printmaking on a short canoe paddle in Gowanus Bay!
🎟️ RSVP REQUIRED🎟️ RSVP here
Join Brian Ellis and the Gowanus Dredgers for a mid-day cyanotype printmaking workshop! After a short discussion of the printmaking process, we will paddle to a nearby location to gather materials for our prints. Upon returning to the Bunker , we will set up and harvest the power of the sun to create some wonderful prints that participants will be able to take home the same day. Beyond the standard cyanotype process, we will also cover wet cyanotype, image transfer, and coffee-based bleaching and toning as time allows.
Cost: Suggested donation of $5-10, however no one turned away for lack of funds. We want this to be accessible to everyone, please contact us if you have a financial hardship.
RSVP Required as seats are limited.
About the Artist: Brian Ellis is a process-based cyanotype artist who uses the medium to explore human physicality and detritus. Using their practice to document meaning-making in the context of waste, degradation, and impermanence, Brian’s cyanotype work utilizes wet cyanotype, singing, portraiture, interview, and print toning.
