Cyanotype Printing at The Magic Bean Farm with Hannah Pitkin

Join me at the farm for this special collaboration with local artist, Hannah Pitkin. During this workshop Hannah will teach us the basics of Cyanotype printing, a camera-less photography process that creates stunning, blue prints. During this workshop, makers will create prints on paper using florals and plant materials from the farm. Makers will also get the opportunity to tour the grounds and take home a bouquet!

Space is limited, so be sure to reserve your tickets.

About Hannah:

Hannah Carpenter Pitkin is a multifaceted artist living in Central Vermont, where she expresses her creativity through photography, painting, and mixed media art. Her work centers on the inevitability of change, the lusciousness of life, and a deep curiosity and fascination with what we leave behind. She questions how our perceptions of life and death inform our ability to be grounded and curious about our earthly experience, while simultaneously recognizing elements of magic within that experience. For Hannah, art serves as a vital source of processing and therapy; it offers her a lens through which to navigate her place in the world, providing purpose and meaning. Characterized by an outgoing and bright demeanor balanced with a thoughtful and private nature, Hannah’s art reflects the complexity of her varied life experiences, from deeply painful to spectacular to highly curious. Her diverse body of work includes large-scale acrylic and mixed media paintings, hide tanning and leather-work, wet plate collodion photography, 35mm and 120mm film photography, and alternative process printing, with a distinct preference for the tangible authenticity of analogue processes. As an artist in her mid-thirties, Hannah has witnessed the transition from a predominantly analogue world to an obsessively digital one, often expressing a yearning for emotional depth and intentionality in her creations. This longing propels her to increasingly embrace analogue forms of creativity, countering her discomfort with digital mediums. She is primarily focused on her work with the wet plate collodion process, and alternative process printing.
