Creating Community: Cyanotypes with Eric

The Jackson County Public Library will host the next Creating Community program on Saturday, May 24th at 1 p.m in the Atrium.  Learn the simple and eco-friendly cyanotype process from a professional artist and educator! Cyanotype is a historic photographic process that results in prints with a deep blue tone, often used for depicting the beautiful intricacies of nature. We'll begin the workshop by collecting leaves, grasses and other natural specimens from around the area which we’ll then use to create original artistic compositions. Eric will lead each participant through the exposure and processing stages. All participants will get to take home the prints they made as artworks and souvenirs.

Eric William Carroll is an artist making work that combines his interests in science, nature, and the history of photography. Carroll’s work has been shown widely and has been included in exhibitions at the New Orleans Museum of Art, Aperture Foundation and the Museum of Contemporary Photography among others. Carroll has participated in residencies with the MacDowell Colony, Rayko Photo Center and the Blacklock Nature Sanctuary, and was the winner of the 2012 Baum Award for Emerging Photographers. After a nearly decade-long stint as a full-time professor, Carroll relocated to Asheville, North Carolina to focus on his creative practice. Find out more at https://www.ericwilliamcarroll.com/
