At the Michigan League, in the Campus Information area on the first floor.

Led by sara faraj, participants of this workshop will explore the centuries-old cyanotype printing process developed in 1842 and create their own prints. Participants will have the opportunity to choose 1-hour scheduling slots where they and another participant will work closely on their prints with sara.

For this workshop, participants will provide one high-resolution photograph before the workshop to the artist to prepare to make the cyanotype alternative photo print that they can take home. These prints can make great gifts and artwork to add some beautiful Prussian blue tones to your environment – keep this in mind when selecting an image! Alternatively, participants can elect to utilize natural materials such as leaves to make compositions, and botanical stencils will also be available as an alternative to providing a digital photograph upfront.

All provided images will be permanently deleted following the use of the image for workshop purposes only. If you have any questions or concerns about image selection or the workshop, please contact sara faraj at smfaraj@umich.edu.

sara faraj (M.A 24, Urban and Regional Planning, Taubman College) is one of three master’s degree-level residents chosen for the 2024 Creative Careers Residency at the Arts Initiative. She is interested in Photovoice as a participatory action research (PAR) methodology that empowers and activates positive change within us and, therefore, positive change in the world around us.
