Blueprints of Nature: Cyanotype Printing Workshop

Led by renowned artist and the 2023 White Buffalo Land Trust Artist in Residence, Holli Harmon, this immersive experience offers our community a unique opportunity to explore the beauty of the ranch and capture its intricate details through the photographic process of cyanotype printing.

Cyanotype uses light-sensitive iron salts to create beautiful deep blue and soft white photographic prints. With hands-on instruction, you’ll craft your own artistic silhouettes onto a flour sack towel set using a diversity of plants, rocks, and found items gathered from the land. We invite you to enjoy the beauty of the ranch while creating a gift for loved ones or yourself! While your cyanotypes dry, we’ll gather for a nourishing meal highlighting local seasonal food. Throughout the day, we’ll engage in discussions on the upcoming holiday season and how everything from the gifts we give to the food we share can support the regeneration of our local ecosystem, foster connection to place, and reinvigorate culture and community.
