SUMMARY:Cyanotype Photography: Make Photographs with the Sun’s Light!
DESCRIPTION:Join exhibiting artist Evie Lovett for a hands-on experience making photographs using objects\, the light of the sun\, and water. With cyanotype photography\, photographs are made by placing objects on specially coated non-toxic light-sensitive paper\, exposing it to the light of the sun\, and developing the image in water. The result is a captivating image in shades of dark blue to white. Create a work of art and discover the process behind Lovett’s artwork\, on view in Watermark: Capturing the Connecticut exhibit. \nAlthough supplies will be provided\, attendees are welcome to bring their own flowers\, leaves\, or plants\, which can be used to make cyanotypes. \nRSVP is required. Members $10; Non-Members $15

SUMMARY:Walking My Watershed Featuring Evie Lovett
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special talk featuring one of the artists behind our Watermark: Capturing the Connecticut exhibit. During this program\, Evie Lovett will touch on the historical origins of cyanotype photography and its contemporary usages in education and fine art. \nLovett walked the watershed where she lives in Vermont\, from its headwaters in a damp spot in a forested nature preserve\, down past her home\, alongside dirt roads\, backyards\, an auto repair shop’s junked cars\, fields of corn\, beaver dams\, wetlands\, a bird “hot spot”\, the village of Putney\, Vermont\, the shuttered Putney Paper Mill (once powered by the brook)\, under I-91 and the railroad tracks\, until it reached the Connecticut River. Along the way\, she made photographs\, gathered plants\, shapes\, and patterns. Back in her studio\, she incorporated this material\, along with text\, research\, and maps\, into her art. \nThis lecture will be available in person and over Zoom. To access the live stream\, please purchase a Virtual Ticket. Members Free; Non-Members $5 \nRSVP is required.
