Shadows in Winter: Cyanotype Impressions with Hannah Tishkoff

As daylight thins and the year closes, guests are invited to experiment with light-sensitive cyanotype paper to create deep blue impressions of gathered natural forms. Using winter greenery, lace, or small found objects, participants will compose and expose images that act as seasonal fossils—temporary arrangements made permanent through light. Once developed and dried, prints can be cut or shaped into tokens, talismans, ornaments or left whole.

Wishboxes & Memory Postcards with Lucila Tosolino

In this special session, we will connect the past with the future through art. We will explore our personal experiences, emotions, and dreams to transform them into small works of art.
This workshop is a wonderful opportunity for families to reflect together, spark their creativity, and create both a meaningful memory of the present and a symbol of inspiration for the future. We look forward to seeing you there to create and dream together!
