SUMMARY:Cyanotype Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Want to learn a new method of printmaking? On August 3\, join us with artist Sonia Bazar for a cyanotype workshop. \nUsing cyanotype fabric and found plant matter and household items\, workshop participants are invited to create a blue-and-white solar print. During the workshop\, Bazar will guide guests in creating their pieces\, and will demonstrate how the medium is used in her artistic practice. Upon bringing the cyanotypes home\, prints can be stitched into a tote bag\, hoodie\, or even a quilt for an added special touch. All levels of experience are welcome! \nMeeting Point: We will meet at the corner of Av. Bernard and Rue St-Dominique\, making our way through the park to forage for plant material. Afterwards\, we will make our way back to the Museum of Jewish Montreal (5220 boul. St-Laurent). \nIn addition to foraged materials\, guests are encouraged to bring items from home! We suggest objects with elements of translucency. Some ideas include: \n\nLace\nMesh\nJewelry\nPhoto negatives\nSmall figurines\nDried flowers\nButtons\nThread or yarn\n\nTickets are $20\, with all necessary materials provided. Due to limited capacity\, advanced registration is encouraged. \nClick here to reserve your spot. \nSonia Bazar is a Montreal-born and based artist\, who holds an MFA in Photography from Concordia University. Through sculpture\, photography and poetry\, their practice examines the notion of alien landscapes and how the body belongs to space. Sonia’s work has been shown in Canada\, Germany\, and Spain. In 2023\, Bazar presented their multidisciplinary practice in the exhibition BACK RIVER at the Museum of Jewish Montreal. \nImage: Cyanotype by Sonia Bazar\, 2024.
