Free Introduction to Making Art with Cyanotype this Sunday in Silver City
SILVER CITY — Megan Berner, the current Resident Artist in Silver City, will offer adults and teens a free "Introduction to Cyanotype” workshop during a meet and greet and free workshop on the cyanotype process on Sunday May 6, 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. at the Silver City School House (community center) at 385 High Street.
Cyanotype is a photographic printing process that produces a cyan-blue print. No experience is necessary to participate in the workshop.
Berner, who has a Masters in Fine Arts, is a lens-based artist who works with photography, video and digital and experimental techniques such as instant film, digital transfers, and cyanotypes.
Her work has been shown nationally and internationally and is part of multiple collections including the Center for Art and Environment at the Nevada Museum of Art, University of Arizona Art Museum, the University of Iowa Special Collections, and Southern Graphics Council International Archive.
In addition to being a practicing visual artist, Berner is the public art program coordinator with the City of Reno's Arts, Culture and Events department. She previously served as chair of the Reno Arts & Culture Commission. She has also been an adjunct faculty photography instructor at Truckee Meadows Community College.
