The cyanotype is a simple photographic process that uses sunlight and water to produce vivid blue images. During the workshop, participants will learn about the Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks before exploring the grounds to create place-based prints inspired by Hopewell culture.

Select prints created during the workshop will be featured in a subsequent exhibition at the Newark Earthworks Storyteller Gallery, on view from July 13 to August 28, 2026. All materials are provided, lunch is included, and no prior experience is necessary.

Questions can be directed to Professor Kate Shannon at shannon.112@osu.edu.

Space and supplies are limited. Rain date: June 29, 2026, 10 am - 2 pm.
