This class will teach you how to create beautiful botanical greeting cards using the cyanotype process. The cyanotype process is one of the oldest alternative photography methods, invented in the 19th century for making blueprints. In this class, we'll use this technique to craft stunning greeting cards. Whether you are an experienced artist or a curious beginner, this class will guide you every step of the way. By combining a few simple materials with a touch of creativity, you'll learn how to harness the sun's energy to transform leaves, flowers, and other natural elements into vibrant blue prints. By the end of this class, you will learn the following skills:
- How to properly cut and fold papers into a card format
- How to make cyanotype emulsion and creative ways to apply it on paper
- Create beautiful greeting card designs using botanicals
- Learn how to expose and develop cyanotype prints

Hey there, I'm Diana, a fine artist, graphic designer, and photographer from Texas living in South Italy. I grew up surrounded by artists and musicians in my family, so art has been a big part of my life. I love everything about creating nature-inspired art, whether designing illustrations, taking photos, or making cyanotype prints. Art has given me so much joy, inspiration, and a sense of gratification. Over the years, I've learned different skills from different projects I worked on. Most of my inspiration comes from my culture, social background, travels, and experiences in life. I am passionate about learning new things and sharing that knowledge with everyone.
