Explore our outdoor world, get creative, and make sun prints (aka cyanotypes) at the Central Square Branch.
A selection of flora, other natural materials, and simple found objects will be available to create a collage and then print with the sun. Or bring your own materials! Participants will have the opportunity to display their work in the Branch during the month of August.
