Sun Prints for Kids

Access

About

Designed for ages 8-12, this hands-on workshop is led by artist Sara Keller, who will introduce participants to the magic of cyanotype, a historic photographic process that uses sunlight to create bold Prussian blue prints, often called sun prints.

Using plants and found objects, participants will create unique images exposed with UV light. They’ll experiment with fresh and pressed plants, string, stones, glass, and other materials while learning about composition, shadow, and layering. Along the way, they'll collaborate, share ideas, and create in a supportive environment!

Each participant will take home 3 to 5 finished prints. No experience is needed. All supplies are included. Space is limited. Registration is required.

Sara Keller is a mixed media installation artist based in Picton, Ontario and is the owner of The Keller Creative. She designs and fabricates custom art installations for public and private spaces and events. She specializes in the experimental manipulation of diverse and common materials. With a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Photography and a Minor in Art History from the University of Missouri, Sara embodies a passion for artistic expression and innovation.
