Celebrate Knowing Nature: Stories of the Boreal Forest with a guided tour and workshop!
First, go inside the exhibition with Jane Winchell, PEM’s Sarah Fraser Robbins Director of The Dotty Brown Art &amp; Nature Center and Curator of Natural History, and discover the biodiversity and global importance of our northernmost forests. Afterward, join artist Patricia Scialo to learn how to make cyanotype prints: a “cameraless photography” technique using treated paper that chemically reacts to sunlight. Reflect on the exhibition and your own connection to nature by creating, exposing and processing your cyanotype print. This workshop will also provide resources, ideas and methods to further explore cyanotypes at home.
This class is perfect for beginners or those returning to art after a break. All supplies are provided, and participants will take home essential materials so they can continue practicing at home.
About our collaborator Patricia Scialo Patricia Scialo Fine art photographer Patricia Scialo applies alternative photographic processes to create unique handmade prints. She began her career as an intern at Peter's Valley Craft Center, Layton, New Jersey, where she mastered view camera work, historic photographic printing processes and still-life compositions that earned her a state fellowship. She has continued working with raw materials, producing handmade paper and cyanotype prints that incorporate mixed media techniques. Scialo was invited to exhibit at the 2024 International Fotografia Festival, Portugal. She is a first-place recipient in the 15th Julia Margaret Cameron Gala Awards, Barcelona. Additional juried exhibitions include: Griffin Museum of Photography, Danforth Art Museum, Winfisky Gallery, Cove Gallery, Jolie Tea Company and Marblehead Arts. Since relocating to the North Shore in 2019, Scialo has conducted workshops for Salem State University, the Cape Ann Museum and Montserrat College of Art.
