Anthotype Printing with Native Plants

Duke Farms

A make-and-take class that combines native plants and an alternative photo technique. No experience necessary!

Capture the ephemeral charm of our native plants through the process of anthotype printing. This form of alternative photography takes advantage of the fragility of plant pigments under strong sunlight and is often used to create colorful impressions of foliage and flowers. What better time to try it out than during the longest and sunniest days of the year? While we work under the Green Roof, we’ll discuss the science behind plant pigmentation and anthotype printing and become better acquainted with the ecologically vital species selected for our artworks. Participants will take home their original anthotype plus a second canvas prepared for a future print.This program is appropriate adults and children 8 years or older. Children must be accompanied by a registered adult. Please dress for the weather. Meet in front of the Farm Barn Orientation Center for check-in. We recommend arriving 10-15 minutes before the start of class. We cannot accommodate late arrivals and the class will depart on time.DUKE FARMS PROGRAM GUIDELINES: Please stay home if you are sick.
