      This casual workshop is an introduction to cyanotyping (blue printing), an early method of photography that can be used to create unique images on porous surfaces. For this "taster" we'll talk a little bit about the history and chemistry, play with composition of items to create an image, and then take advantage of the Fresno sun and unique blueprints on fabric. Your creations will be complete on their own, or can be the foundation for another project. We'll talk about that, too!

      All materials will be provided, but feel free to bring your own pressed flowers and leaves, paper cuts, lace, photo negatives, and other items you'd like to experiment with. Keep in mind that cyanotyping creates silhouettes of items that block UV light. Therefore, photo negatives should have strong dark and light contrast.

      Provided materials will include:

      pre-treated cotton fabric

      transfer sheets for drawing or writing with acrylic ink

      non-latex gloves

      pressed flowers, leaves, etc. and man-made objects that will provide interesting texture or interference with UV light.

      Along the way Joie will advise you about the techniques that will help you create the effects you are imagining. All materials and tools for this class are included in the registration fee, and participants will take home their basic toolkit, as well as their artwork. This class will prepare you for Relief Printing 2: Multi-color Lino Printing.

        The first meeting will cover  basic safety and project selection.  The second and third sessions will be devoted to a project that will reinforce the skills learned on day 1.  We will be using many of the tools we practiced on, as well as some layout and marking skills, to build a small project that you will be able to take home and be proud of!

        • Do not wear any dangling jewelry or lanyards that can get caught in machinery. 
        • Do not wear clothing with loose sleeves or draped or dangling elements that can get caught in machinery
        • No open toe shoes (anywhere in the facility)
        • Long hair and beards should be securely tied back.
        • Currently face masks are recommended but not required the facility. A cotton cloth mask with ties instead of ear loops must be well secured with no dangling tie ends.

          Beginning Welding is a 3-session course; each session is 3 hours. Students will gain a core understanding of how to operate welding equipment safely and get familiar with basic techniques.  This class is for hobbyists, makers, artists, or anyone wanting to try something new and challenge themselves a bit in a comfortable collaborative environment.

          Check the class times shown to ensure you can make it to every session.

          What Not to Wear:

          • Do not wear rings or other jewelry. 
          • No open toe shoes (anywhere in the facility)
          • Do not wear clothing made from synthetic or synthetic blends. The synthetic fabric can burn vigorously, melt and produce skin burns.
          • Long hair and beards should be securely tied back.
          • Currently face masks are recommended but not required in the facility. A cotton cloth mask is safest around open flame. Your instructor will explain the safe use of face masks around welding equipment.


          We will provide:

          • Eye protection
          • Face hood/shield
          • Leathers
          • Insulated gloves
          • Ear plugs
          • Materials for class projects
          • Please bring any hoods/gloves/leathers if you have them
          Upon completion of the class, Ideaworks members may be certified to use the Weldatorium tools unsupervised during business hours.
