Description:

Spring is here and with it lots of sunshine! Join us in April as we explore the fun art of anthotype printing with natural ingredients. Kits come with everything needed to print some amazing prints using the anthotype printing process. An anthotype print is a photographic image obtained by using plant dyes (photosensitive pigments in plants), without the need for cameras, lenses, inks, lasers and specialized equipment. Dyes of different colors can be obtained depending on which plant, flower, berry or plant-based spice is used. Due to the simplicity of the process, it only requires some common household items, sunlight and patience. These kits are intended for adults due to the nature of the kit's components and will be available on Tuesday, April 14th in the Library Rotunda while supplies last. One kit per person. For more information about this craft please contact Yvonne Loomis at 624-6550 ext. 7620 or e-mail yloomis@manchesternh.gov. Happy crafting!
