Exoplanet Inspired Cyanotypes with Betsy Kenyon

Inspired by our forthcoming Scientific Controversies: Exoplanets event on November 7 (more details to come), come explore the exoplanets—any planet beyond our solar system—orbiting our imagination with Resident Alum, Betsy Kenyon.


Learn the process of cliché-verre, or glass printing, and use the star we circle to make iron-rich cyanotypes outdoors.


Date: This in-person workshop will meet on Saturday, October 16 from 1-3pm.


Price: $75


Audience: Open to all.


Materials: Materials will be provided.
