Seaweed Cyanotypes on the South Coast
Sunday, August 9, 11am-2pm — Port Orford, OR
Come make your own seaweed cyanotypes with us at Sea Wolf Books in the quaint and adorable fishing town of Port Orford! We’ll be using a collection of dried West Coast seaweeds for this activity. Hosted at Sea Wolf Books, we’ll include book mark making in the class and also share about our favorite seaweed books available in the store!
A cyanotype is a photographic blueprint made through a chemical reaction between UV light and chemically coated paper. Cyanotypes have been a form of scientific documentation for seaweed, terrestrial plants, and natural specimens since they were invented in the 1700s and were actually some of the original form of photographic printing. Learn about the process and techniques to make cyanotypes using a collection of pressed seaweeds and PNW flora.
