Tarot has accreted a rich set of symbols around it over many years, making it a great addition to any storyteller’s toolset. During this workshop we’ll share examples of Tarot used in art and writing, look at lots of Tarot decks for our reference and edification, and finally put our new tools to work! Our facilitator will provide a few examples of Tarot decks that inspire him. Please bring your own Tarot cards and ideas to enhance our discussions!

Cost: $35 per part (can be purchased together or separately)

Date/Time: Sept. 20th and/or 27th, 12 to 3 p.m.

Part 1: Cyanotype
Madison Cantrell will first introduce the cyanotype process, its history, and share some artist examples. Cantrell and participants will then go on a short walk to gather natural materials to create with (but also feel free to bring in your own objects!). You will then be led to create five unique sun prints of your own to take home!

Part 2: Toning
Part 2 of this cyanotype workshop requires participants to bring in their own cyanotypes (your results from Part 1 or a cyanotype that has been dry for 1-2 days). Cantrell will lead participants through various cyanotype toning methods and there will be an opportunity to share your results with the group at the end of the workshop. Tea will be provided!
