Celebrate spring by learning this method of creating prints with sunlight. We’ll make cyanotype prints and bind them into drum leaf books: a simple adhesive binding that allows an image to seamlessly span a full-page spread: ideal for printers, photographers, and artists who want to present their work in book form. No experience required. (Ages 12+)
Instructor Bio: Dana Alex King is a multimedia artist whose current practice is focused on papermaking, poetry, photography, and painting. Motivated by curiosity and empathy, they find their inspiration in the spaces where internal and external landscapes meet. As an artist living with invisible disabilities, Dana makes work that interrogates intersections of history, text, power, and pain and that considers the subversive natures of humor, healing, and pleasure. Dana has shown and published work in the United States and abroad and has taught courses and workshops in Book Arts for the University of Iowa Center for the Book, the University of Iowa International Writing Program’s Summer Youth Program, an inter-departmental University of Iowa class funded by the NEH, and Iowa City arts non-profit Public Space One. Currently based in Iowa City, Dana loves every wolf and dog. And moose. And the majority of living beings.
