Workshops at the USCB Printmaking Studio 602 Carteret Street, Beaufort, SC (register for either or both below):

  1. Impressions in Blue: Cyanotype Printing Workshop
    Friday, February 27th  |  10:00pm - 2:00pm  (materials included)

    Create with sunlight! In this immersive workshop, we’ll discover cyanotype printing (the iconic blueprint technique) and transform found objects and botanical materials into striking images. Using the sun as our exposure tool, we’ll produce prints on paper and fabric, leaving with a custom cyanotype bandanna and a collection of samples.
  2. The Explored Stitch - $50.00
    Saturday, February 28th  |  10:00am - 2:00pm  (materials included)
    Stitching is like handwriting- we each have a unique signature and our own way of using a needle and thread. In this workshop we'll learn foundational techniques, experiment with different stitch styles and materials and explore needlework as a means of expression. No prior embroidery experience is required, and all materials will be provided.
