SUMMARY:Mississippi Musings October Workshop: Dynamic Systems
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a fun\, laid-back creative evening of learning and community. Refreshments provided. \n\n\n\n\nDr. Emily Fairfax\, world-renown beaver expert\, will be sharing about the dynamic impacts that beavers have on rivers and healthy habitats. (Dr. Fairfax was one of the scientific consultants for the hit animated film\, Hoppers!) Later\, musician Ben Weaver\, will lead us through original compositions about his own experiences and connection to the Mississippi River. \nArtist Kimberly Boustead will lead an art-making activity centered around the idea of what a healthy river looks like to you. \nThis event includes a light dinner and an opportunity to explore the Stormwater Park + Learning Center. \nThis event is free\, but registration is required.

SUMMARY:Cyanotype Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Learn to create cyanotypes using collected Mississippi River water\, plants + found objects gathered near the River’s edge. \nJoin us for an afternoon of fun: Learning about the Mississippi River\, how we’re connected to it\, and how we can create with it too. While you’re here\, explore Shoshana Fink’s solo exhibit\, A Gathering of Waters. \nIn this workshop\, we will harness the power of the sun to make detailed cyanotype prints on sensitized paper using plants and objects that we collect near the river. After exposing our cyanotypes to UV light\, we will develop them in Mississippi River water (collected prior to the workshop) and hang them to dry. After completion\, workshop participants will be able to take their prints home. \n*Cyanotype is the “original” sun-printing process\, one of the earliest photographic techniques. Discovered in 1842 and distinctive for producing rich\, Prussian blue monochromatic prints\, cyanotype was popular well into the 20th century as an inexpensive method for reproducing photographs\, documents\, maps and plans (hence the enduring architectural term “blueprint”) and for making impressions of biological or plant specimens in the field (“photograms”). \nThis event is free\, but registration is required.
