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.
