4-Day Cyanotype and Mixed Media Workshop


  • Willow Pond SLO 1250 Judith Lane Arroyo Grande, California, 93420 United States (map)

Connect with nature and expand your artistic boundaries in this immersive 4-day retreat guided by Boulder-based artist Kristen Abbott. Rooted in curiosity and the natural world, this workshop transforms the traditional cyanotype process into a dynamic, mixed-media adventure.
• Day 1: The Foundations | Master the basics of sun printing using foraged leaves, flowers, and found objects to build compelling, layered compositions.

• Day 2: Texture & Textiles | Explore the alchemy of botanical toning and learn to translate your prints onto the elegant canvas of silk.

• Day 3: Mixed Media Fusion | Elevate your blueprints by layering paint, chalk pastel, collage, and expressive embroidery.

• Day 4: Depth & Movement | Infuse your final pieces with soulful, expressive mark-making on paper.

Leave the rules behind, embrace play, and discover a fresh, layered language for your art practice.
