  • Saturday, January 30, 10:30 am – 1:00 pm – Floral Cyanotype Artist Demonstration

    Following in the footsteps of 19th-century botanist Anna Atkins, artist Jesseca Ferguson will demonstrate the cyanotype process using plant materials, on Saturday, January 30 from 10:30 – 1. Ferguson will hand sensitize artists paper and print photograms using ultra-violet light, much as Atkins did when she printed her 1843 book, Photographs of British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions. A buffet-style lunch and a guided tour of the Worcester Art Museum’s Cyanotypes: Photography’s Blue Period will follow the demonstration.
