Engage Youth (ages 15+) and Adults in the creation of prints on paper and fabric substrates using the historical cyanotype photographic process. Students will learn how the non-toxic cyanotype chemicals react during exposure to sun/UV light to produce permanent, magical, blue and white images. Adding common household materials to botanical specimens and other objects, students will add color and texture to their prints and make a one-of-a-kind stitched fabric book or other textile object, involving both random and intentional mark-making. The results are surprising, ethereal, and delightful.

Instructor Bio
Fruma Markowitz was formally trained in photography and fine arts at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem, Israel, where she graduated with a BFA in Photography in 1984. For the next five years she worked as a photojournalist, book jacket designer, portraitist and fashion photographer, as well as teaching and showing her personal work in Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Jerusalem.

Since moving to CT in 2003 Fruma’s photography practice has functioned as her personal visual diary. She makes images daily and shows her work at both local and national fine art venues. During the COVID-19 pandemic her practice pivoted towards engagement with historic and alternative photographic processes, with a focus on cyanotype, multi-media collage and lumen printing. Concern with womanhood, cultural history, memory and shared legacies are where she mostly draws inspiration for making images.
