Working with light and water, participants will explore image-making as a tactile, process-based practice shaped by the particular conditions of Provincetown. Students will be invited to notice how fog, wind, tide, and changing light subtly influence both image and process. The workshop embraces Provincetown’s long tradition of artists working outdoors and in direct dialogue with light and landscape.

Cyanotype—a cameraless photographic process known for its deep Prussian blue is especially responsive to the coastal environment: intense sunlight, shifting weather, salt air, and time. Each print becomes a quiet record of place and moment. Students will be encouraged to gather imagery from walks, the shoreline, and everyday observations, and to work with found materials, botanicals, and personal ephemera, approaching the process as a collaboration with natural forces.

These images and objects will be assembled into a cohesive artist book using the drum-leaf binding structure, originally developed by Timothy Ely, an adhesive-based form that opens nearly flat and allows for full-page spreads, making it especially well suited to sequencing cyanotypes into a visual narrative.
