Explore the science of cyanotype printing, then make your own pictures outside using sunlight. For children ages 4-10 and their families. Online pre-registration (children only) is required.

Explore the science of cyanotype printing, then make your own pictures outside using sunlight and found objects. Learn about UV light, light from the sun, and the chemistry of cyanotype prints. Children will consult the UV detector, and create cyanotype prints using light from the sun and found objects. This works even if it’s a cloudy day! Portions of this program will be held outdoors. For children ages 4-10 and their families. Online pre-registration (children only) is required.

This hands-on program will provide children with the opportunity to use their critical thinking and problem-solving skills to achieve a result. We will provide all the materials for this program. Sponsored by Friends of the Library, Montgomery County.
