Please note that in the event of rain this workshop will be rescheduled for Thursday August 15.The workshop is led by Handy House artist-in-residence Tina Tryforos, a photographer and educator. She has a deep interest in the historic photographic process of cyanotype, the Prussian blue image invented in 1842 by Sir John Herschel. During her residency, Tryforos will create artwork inspired by her research of historical photographs of women from Westport along with domestic objects those women may have encountered or used in their lives.Tina Tryforos has an MFA in Visual Studies, and has had a photography studio in Pawtucket Rhode Island since 1999. She teaches analog and digital photography to children and teen-agers, college students, and adults in alternative art educational settings. Much of her work is based on archives of material, often self-generated and always involving photography.
