Cyanotypes with Rhianna Gallagher

Classes/Workshops

Posted: May 21, 2023

June 10 & 11, 10am – 4pm at Spring Commons, 231 E. Redwood Ave in Fort Bragg. Two-day workshop in which students will learn how to make cyanotypes with artist Rhianna Gallagher who specializes in historical photographic processes. Cyanotype is a 19th-century photographic process that produces a distinctive blue-colored print. To create a cyanotype print, a light-sensitive emulsion is applied to a surface such as paper or fabric. Transparent objects and/or negatives are placed on the surface and exposed to UV light which creates a blue image. Images are developed in water. The process is non-toxic and very forgiving. $100 for 2 day workshop Includes emulsion and transparencies The workshop begins with a brief history of cyanotype and examples of techniques. Students will learn how to make photograms (images of objects laid directly on paper coated with the light-sensitive emulsion) and images using a transparency made from a photograph. Students should bring paper and/or fabric to coat with emulsion and print on; objects with different levels of transparency to make photograms; and images that can be made into transparencies for printing. Workshop fee includes emulsion and transparencies. Rhianna Gallagher is a Master of Fine Art Photography specializing in antique historical processes. To register email gallagher.rhianna@gmail.com

The Fort Bragg-Mendocino Coast Historical Society needs additional volunteer docents at the Guest House Museum

Opportunity ; Volunteer

Posted: Dec 26, 2022

Being a museum docent isn’t hard—it’s not nearly as big a challenge as some suspect. The time we need you for is less than you might think. Only a few hours a month. And it’s fun! A docent is a Friendly Presence, a lot like being a good host in your own home. Docents greet everyone who comes through the museum’s front door. They ask visitors if they’re new to the area or locals, and invite them to sign the Guest Book. Now and then they even sell postcards or a book which helps bolster our operations revenue. It’s where anyone can learn about our town, our region, and what went into forming and keeping this community thriving. There is something here for everyone. You don’t need to be a historian or “history nerd.” We will train you. Please consider joining our team! Contact:707 964-4251 ~ please leave a message, or email info@fortbragghistory.org
