Free Ink Day: Cyanotype Printing!
July 26, 12–4 PM at Highpoint

Join us for a fun and free afternoon of printmaking at Highpoint! Drop in between 12-4pm to experiment with this historic photographic printing process, also known as sun printing. Using light-sensitive paper, flowers from Highpoint’s rain garden, and the power of the sun, you’ll create rich blue prints that capture shapes and shadows. This event is free and open to all ages and experience levels. Materials are provided, and volunteers will be on hand to guide you through the process.

Parking: Enter by walking through HP’s Lake Street entrance or by the driveway off Colfax. Street parking is available, or visitors are encouraged to bike, walk, or take public transit. The event will take place in HP’s parking lot.

Please note: in the event of rain or overcast weather, we’ll shift gears and explore colorful, water-soluble monotype printing instead. Just as fun, and just as free!
