BOOK TALK: Printing with the Sun with Madge Evers

  • San Francisco Center for the Book 375 Rhode Island Street San Francisco, CA, 94103 United States (map)

Join us for an evening with cyanotype artist and educator Madge Evers, whose new book Printing with the Sun: Capturing the Beauty of Nature with Cyanotypes (Storey/Hachette, 2026) is a beautiful guide to this sun-powered printmaking process.

In this talk, Madge will share the journey behind the book – from her long-standing cyanotype practice using foraged materials to experimental techniques that open the process into new and inventive territory. Attendees will be treated to a slideshow presentation alongside an up-close show-and-tell featuring original cyanotype experiments, spore prints, and handmade books that bring these processes into the realm of the artist's object.

Whether you're a printmaker, book artist, or simply drawn to the beauty of light and nature, this is an evening that is sure to inspire.

Printing with the Sun will be available for sale at this event. Doors open at 6 pm; presentation begins promptly at 6:30 pm.

About the Author: Madge Evers is a visual artist whose practice is rooted in sustained attention to plant life and its slower, less visible processes. Working with alternative photographic techniques, mushroom spores, and painting, she engages both observed landscape details and imagined botanical forms. Her work has been exhibited throughout New England, and she has participated in residencies in Massachusetts, Virginia, Ireland, and New York. She is the author of Printing With the Sun, a book about the cyanotype process, published by Storey. Evers lives and works in western Massachusetts.
