Cyanotypes at the Mill 2

Friends of Peirce Mill

Cyanotypes are an early type of photograph--in this free workshop, we'll make prints using sunlight and natural objects.

Peirce Mill

Create by the Creek 2025

This day-long celebration of art and community returns to Peirce Mill this June! Join us for free workshops taught by local artists–or borrow some art supplies and find a quiet spot to draw in Rock Creek Park.

A cyanotype is an early photographic process invented in 1842, just a few years after Peirce Mill was built. In this workshop, DC artist Luke Walter will demonstrate the cyanotype process and show participants how to arrange natural objects and hand-drawn images on specially prepared paper. Then we’ll use sunlight to permanently capture these otherwise ephemeral shadows in subtle shades of blue.Rain date: Sunday, June 15
