Discover Jamaica Bay Tour Series: Seaweed Sun Prints

  • Beach 67 Rockaways 144 Beach 67th Street Queens, NY 11692 United States (map)

Did you know? Using the power of the sun and the wonders of chemistry, you can make unique art using beach debris!

Join JBRPC and artists Dominika Ksel and Camile Morales (Buena onda Collective) for a bio-art workshop transforming natural and man-made debris from Rockaway Beach into cyanotype prints! Cyanotyping is a form of alternative photographic print-making that uses the sun’s UV rays and an iron salt solution to create a print of an object – like a bundle of seaweed or a piece of found plastic.

Buena Onda Collective welcomes curious community members and passersby to join us for an afternoon combing the Rockaway Beach for treasures and debris! We will collect our cabinet of curiosities and transform our found objects into a series of sun prints (cyanotypes). No experience necessary. All ages and abilities are welcome.
