Hosted by the Friends of WNYC Transmitter Park please join us for a FREE Art Workshop

Instructor: Amy Williams will again take us through the garden hand selecting native plant foliage for our outdoor printmaking workshop to create sun prints!

No experience necessary. You will take home a frameable print.

How it works… Have you ever seen a blue photograph? If you lived in the 1800s you would have. By placing objects on special paper and exposing the paper to sunlight, early photographers created blue images, called cyanotypes or sun prints.

Meet at Greenpoint Avenue Entrance to the Park

Amy Williams is a photographer and mixed media artist living and working in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

Her photographs have been featured in the French art magazine Frog, as well as the windows of Saks Fifth Avenue in New York City. Williams has exhibited extensively and her work is in corporate and private collections in New York, Washington D.C., Seattle, Paris and Saudi Arabia.

The Germination Station is sponsored by the Friends of WNYC Transmitter Park. Inspiration for this forum is inspired by the Park’s namesake and historic legacy of public radio broadcasting. Add to this the creation of a community for the expression of ideas and support for public green space.
