Cyanotypes, or blueprints were one of the first photographic printmaking processes invented. They’re fun and easy to make! Discover the magic of cyanotype—a historic, camera-less photographic printing process using the sun's UV rays to produce one-of-a-kind Prussian blue and white prints. This 19th-century technique blends art, science, and nature. 

A hands-on, beginner-friendly workshop where students will learn how to mix the light-sensitive chemicals, coat their own paper, and arrange beautiful organic compositions. After the paper has been prepared, we’ll step outside and expose our prints in the sun; then learn how to develop them in plain water, instantly revealing the creations. No prior photography or art experience is necessary. Just bring your curiosity and a willingness to play.



In this class you will learn: 

1. The Basics: A brief history of the cyanotype process.

2. Chemical Mixing: How to safely handle and mix the light-sensitive solutions.
3. Paper Coating: Techniques for evenly coating your watercolor paper.

4. Foraging & Composition: Arranging botanicals (leaves, pressed flowers, twigs) and everyday objects to create striking negative spaces.

5. Exposure & Development: Using natural sunlight to expose your prints and water to stop the chemical reaction.

Please note a brochure correction: There is a materials fee of $10 is due at the start of the class.

From two of Rob’s books, you can experience a public paranormal investigation at the Hunt Memorial Library in Nashua, NH with Rob and Monique Toosoon. Their findings revealed three ghosts that were not associated with the building but chose the building as their residence. Together with other paranormal professionals and members of the public they uncovered a haunted secret love, illicit trysts, a ghostly teenage accident victim and haunted paintings. 

In the Ghosts of Linville Manor – Maryland’s Most Haunted House, Rob’s investigation revealed the identities of several ghosts, including one who remains there due to being unjustly accused. This book details that investigation, provides a glimpse of the home's past, and shares many of the supernatural interactions people have experienced.
