Join artist Jacqui Alexander for an afternoon of chemistry and creativity for anyone ages 10 and up at the Arts Council of Princeton’s “ART OF” series’ ART OF Cyanotype on Sunday, June 9 from 2 to 3:30 p.m.

Cyanotype is a basic photographic process that uses the sun’s UV rays to create shadowy silhouettes against a vibrant blue background. Learn all about the technique — which dates back to the 1840s — and then create cyanotype printed cloth napkins using found and gathered objects. Bring your own pressed flowers or leaves, feathers, shells, jewelry or trinkets, lace, small toys, cut paper stencils — anything that can lay flat to create a silhouette on your surface.

Funds raised from the “ART OF” series allow the Arts Council to continue offering free community events and outreach programs.

The cost of the Cyanotype workshop is $50 for adults and $35 ages 10-18. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

The series continues on Thursday, June 13 from 5:30-7 p.m. with the ART OF Tacos and Margaritas.

Register here for the “ART OF” series at the Arts Council of Princeton, 102 Witherspoon Street.
