Learn this early alternative photographic process and use organic materials to create your own cyanotype prints using photo chemistry techniques first developed in the 1840s. \nThe resulting prints are records of the state of the ocean and your creative process on that particular day\, recorded in the blue and white palette of the sea itself. Cyanotype is an alternative photographic process used to create photographic prints in the distinctive shade of Prussian blue and white without the use of a camera\, exposed with the sun and developed in water. \nThis workshop will teach you the fundamentals of the cyanotype process\, its history\, and will culminate with each participant creating three original cyanotype prints – usually something frame worthy. \n  \nThe first portion of the workshop will involve an introduction\, demonstration and selection of materials. The second portion will be a printing session. If you have materials you’d like to bring to use for printing (sentimental objects\, dried botanicals\, etc)\, please feel free to bring them. \nRegistration fee includes all materials and instruction\, as well as light refreshments and seaweed snacks. A portion of proceeds from each ticket sale will be donated to The Ocean Institute.  \n \n \n \n \n \n Saturday\, July 13 \n10:00 am – 12:00 pm \n$150 a person \n \n \n Register Now\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n About Oriana Poindexter: \n \n\n\n\n\nOriana earned her degrees at Princeton University and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego.

These ships were known for their speed and were used for smuggling. The ship is 118 feet long with a rig height of 100 feet… and 5\,000 square feet of sail! \nIt was Dennis Holland’s dream to build an accurate replica from the period when America fought for independence. Armed with talent\, determination\, little money and plans he purchased from the Smithsonian Institution\, he laid the keel in his Orange County yard on May 2\, 1970. Thirteen years later\, this fast privateer was launched and continues to sail the ocean. Everywhere you look on board is the craftsmanship and pride of early America. \nFormerly the Pilgrim of Newport\, the re-named Spirit of Dana Point is an excellent teaching platform where students directly experience life at sea as it has been for hundreds of years.  The 118-ft. schooner is used for living history and at-sea maritime programs throughout the year. \nThe Spirit of Dana Point is also available for public and private charters\, coastal sails\, corporate team building\, and filming opportunities. \nFor private charters\, events or wedding onboard the Spirit of Dana Point please e-mail: events@oceaninstitute.org \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Click here for our Refund and Ticket Transfer Policy.
