Cyanotype Prints Workshop

Join us for a fun, creative, and meaningful evening as you learn the art of cyanotype printing! This hands-on workshop is inspired by our Summerfest Cyanotype Workshop. If you weren’t able to attend then, this is your chance to explore this historic photo print technique while the evenings are bright and the sunsets linger. It’s our way of saying farewell to summer and welcoming the beauty of fall.

Using a variety of materials: ribbons, paper, flowers, leaves, or any other flat surfaces, you’ll create beautiful cyanotype prints. There’s no limit to your creativity, so feel free to make your compositions as intricate or simple as you like!

This workshop is free and open to the public — everyone is welcome. All materials will be provided, but you’re encouraged to bring any flat or translucent items you’d like to print. Come ready with patience, energy, and lots of enthusiasm to create unique and fun prints.

What to bring or wear:
Comfortable clothing that can get a little messy
Let’s fill the room with creativity, imagination, and fun!
Date: Wednesday, August 26, 2025
Time: 6:00 – 7:30 PM

Jaggy Mones is a visual artist based between Mexico City and Salt Lake City. She graduated from the University of Utah with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science (2007-2011). Shortly after receiving her degree she began to live nomadically, wandering the world, processing experiences through images captured along the way. Coming from a collage background she chose to modify her technique after deciding to live out of a backpack full-time, digital art became the platform and travel photography provided the materials. Since returning to Salt Lake City in 2020, she has incorporated more sculptural and epoxy elements into her work.

Jaggy Mones has exhibited both locally and internationally, her solo exhibits include: “Dragons & Dreams: 1” (Fice Gallery: 2024), “Reflection” (Fice Gallery: July 2019), “Portals” (La Oliva Cafe: May 2019), “The Writingʼs on the Wall: Street Art From Around The World” (Commerce and Craft: October 2018), and “One Last Thing Before I Go” (Guthrie Studios: November 2018).

You can see her work in the Underground Gallery as part of
Raíces en Poder today!

Join us for a fun, creative, and inspiring evening as we slow down and pay close attention to the intricate landscapes hidden within rocks. Using acrylic paint and fine-detail brushes, participants will carefully observe and paint the natural maps, lines, textures, and geological patterns that have formed over thousands—or even millions—of years.

This hands-on workshop is inspired by artists featured in our current exhibition, Anthropocene: Landscapes of Use, Memory, and Transformation.

Artist Andrea Di Castro uses GPS drawings as metaphors for the invisible paths we create as we move through the world. He also records the locations where he discovers rocks during his journeys, transforming them into archives of place and memory. Jaclyn Wright, in her Blaze Orange photographic series, overlays dotted orange lines onto landscapes to reveal how photography helps define, document, and codify land use. Katelyn Field Garcia presents photographs of her hands after touching the charcoal that remains on trees in the aftermath of wildfires. The lines of her palms mirror the intricate patterns found on charred branches and throughout the fire-scarred landscape, creating a poetic connection between the human body and the traces of ecological transformation.

Inspired by these artists, participants are invited to slow down and practice mindful observation by using magnifying glasses to explore the natural "maps" embedded within rocks. As you paint, consider how every rock carries traces of geological time, environmental change, and human experience. Reflect on landscapes that have shaped your own life and the memories they continue to hold.

Bring a rock that has personal meaning, or choose one from our collection. Create a detailed painting of a single rock or a series of painted maps that celebrate the unique lines, textures, and histories found within each stone. Let your imagination, curiosity, and personal memories guide your creative process.

Taller: Pintando los Mapas Naturales de las Rocas
Acompáñanos a una tarde creativa e inspiradora para hacer una pausa y observar con atención los paisajes que habitan dentro de las rocas. Utilizando pintura acrílica y pinceles de detalle, las y los participantes pintarán los mapas naturales, las líneas, las texturas y los patrones geológicos que se han formado durante miles o incluso millones de años.
Este taller está inspirado en las y los artistas que forman parte de nuestra exposición actual, Anthropocene: Landscapes of Use, Memory, and Transformation.

El artista Andrea Di Castro utiliza dibujos realizados con tecnología GPS como metáforas de los caminos invisibles que dejamos al desplazarnos por el mundo. También registra mediante GPS los lugares donde encuentra rocas durante sus recorridos por la naturaleza, convirtiéndolas en archivos de memoria y territorio. En su serie fotográfica Blaze Orange, Jaclyn Wright incorpora líneas punteadas color naranja sobre el paisaje para reflexionar sobre el papel de la fotografía en la manera en que documentamos, delimitamos y entendemos el uso del territorio. Por su parte, Katelyn Field Garcia presenta fotografías de sus manos después de tocar el carbón que permanece en los árboles tras el paso de los incendios forestales. Las líneas de sus palmas reflejan los intrincados patrones presentes en las ramas carbonizadas y en el paisaje marcado por el fuego, creando una conexión poética entre el cuerpo humano y las huellas de la transformación ecológica.
Inspiradxs por estas obras, las personas participantes utilizarán lupas para observar con detenimiento los mapas naturales que se esconden en las rocas. A través de una observación lenta y consciente, explorarán las líneas, texturas y patrones geológicos que revelan el paso del tiempo. Mientras pintan, podrán reflexionar sobre cómo cada roca conserva huellas del tiempo geológico, de los cambios ambientales y de nuestras propias experiencias, así como de los paisajes que han marcado sus vidas.

Puedes traer una roca que tenga un significado especial para ti o utilizar una de las que tendremos disponibles. Crea una pintura detallada de una sola roca o una serie de mapas pintados que celebren las líneas, texturas e historias que cada piedra guarda. Deja que tu imaginación, curiosidad y memoria personal guíen tu proceso creativo.
