About
Saturday, May 9
1–3:30 pm (materials included)
ages 14
Capture the beauty of the season in this unique, hands-on workshop! You’ll learn the art of cyanotype printing onto pottery, using natural light to create deep-blue images on kiln-fired ceramic tiles. Inspired by the colors and textures of Spring, we’ll use native leaves, flowers, and other natural materials to design our prints. Then, we’ll transform your finished tiles into a beautiful hanging mobile, using gathered tree branches for a rustic, nature-inspired display. No experience needed—just bring your creativity and curiosity!
This class will be taught by local guest artist Sarah May.
Sarah May (she/hers) is a queer biracial Salvadoreña artist, poet, organizer, facilitator, and bruja. She graduated from the University of Utah with her BFA in Photography & Digital Imaging and her MA in Community Leadership with an Emphasis in Art & Culture from Westminster College. Sarah’s writing and visual work weave frequently together across multiple mediums, connecting to ancestry as a healing ritual and ceremony, and exploring identity as cyclical and evolving.
Sarah has long called Pia Appaa, Great Salt Lake, home. As someone who lives in the in-between of multiple worlds and identities, Great Salt Lake is a sacred place where she cultivated her magic into the artist and storyteller she is today and is a huge component of her work as a place-based artist.
Sarah is an artist and co-founder of Making Waves Artist Collaborative, a community of artists, organizers, and vigilkeepers who cultivate lake-facing culture through participatory art and demonstrative love for Great Salt Lake.
