Newbern Library offering hands-on cyanotype art event this weekend
In celebration of the conclusion of its 2024 Summer Reading & Enrichment Program, the Newbern Library will feature a hands-on art activity for both children and adults on Saturday, July 27, from 1000 am- noon. The event will show participants how to make their own cyanotype, or sun print, using special paper that produces a picture when its surface chemicals react with sunlight. The cyanotype process was used by an English illustrator and botanist named Anna Atkins to produce the very first book of photography in 1843. It is also the process used by architects and builders to produce blueprints.
