Railroad Point Walk and Cyanotype print workshop

At the HEARTH Day festival the Hudson Sloop Club will host a found object art making workshop! We will create cyanotype prints using found materials naturally growing and discarded along the Hudson River. We will start with a short nature walk to Railroad Point where you can gather any plant or found material that might catch your eye to gather and use to build a cyanotype print. No prior experience is necessary, and all materials will be provided. Join us for a fun and creative experience, exploring nature and learning about this fun solar photographic process. This workshop will be about 50 minutes and in the end, you will have a cyanotype to take home as a record of what you saw along the Hudson Riverfront on HEARTH Day 2023.
