On Saturday, June 10, this day-long celebration of art and community returns to Peirce Mill . Join us in Rock Creek Park for free workshops taught by local artists! Rain Date:  Sunday, June 11.

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.
