A cyanotype, or blueprint, of flowers and leaves made by a student during a Muscarelle workshop.

Inspired by the work of the first female photographer Anna Atkins, students will create their own botanical photographs. We will explore the local ecosystem, collect samples, and photograph them utilizing the sun! Together we will learn about chemistry, history, ecology, and the principles of design.

This workshop is designed for children ages 6-11. All materials will be provided, and all skill levels are welcome; just bring your imagination!

Date: Monday, Oct. 2, 9 AM to Noon (Monday, Oct. 2 is a teacher workday for both WJCC Schools and York Co. Schools.)
Location: William & Mary McLeod Tyler Wellness Center
Workshop fee: Muscarelle Members, W&M Staff, Faculty, and Students $20; Non-Members $30
