Sketches of the Great Salt Lake: Cyanotype Exploration with Alexandra Fuller

by

Join Alexandra Fuller, Swaner Preserve and EcoCenter, and Kimball Art Center for a hands-on experiment with photogram and cyanotype processes at the Great Salt Lake.

In parallel with her exhibition at the Kimball Art Center, All Sketches Wish to Be Real, we invite you to join Alexandra Fuller, Swaner Preserve and EcoCenter, and Kimball Art Center for a hands-on exploration of the Great Salt Lake. Guided by a naturalist and inspired by Alex’s cyanotypes, participants will experiment with photogram and cyanotype processes. Each participant will collect objects from the lake’s edge to create their own photogram, and together the group will make a collaborative piece, embracing curiosity, discovery, and play.

Aligned with Swaner’s mission to connect people with the natural world and with their current exhibition Life on the Edge, this workshop takes place at the threshold between land and water in a cold, wet, and salty environment. Dress appropriately for wild weather. Boots are available to borrow. Optional carpooling from Park City with Swaner staff is available. The specific location on the lake will be shared with registrants once signed up.

Come ready to explore, learn and honor this remarkable place.

Cost $40 per participant

Evolving Forms with Clay (2 days)

by

Workshop by visiting artist Antra Sinha, featured in All Sketches Wish to be Real.

This weekend workshop is designed for intermediate and advanced students who are comfortable working with clay and want to push their sculptural practice further. Inspired by Antra Sinha’s process, students will explore how original sculptural shapes can emerge through hands on making, repetition, and adjustment rather than following a set project.

Demonstration and guidance will be woven throughout the workshop, alongside plenty of studio practice time. Students will create a series of small sculptural experiments, building, revising, and refining forms while paying attention to balance, structure, and how each piece holds together. With mentoring from the instructor, participants may choose one form to develop into a finished, palm sized sculpture. Featuring a lunchtime Art Talk from Antra on Saturday @ 1:00pm!

This workshop is ideal for students who already have some experience and are interested in experimenting, taking risks, and developing a more personal approach to sculptural making.

Artwork will be fired by our dedicated clay studio staff.

Please note that the firing process takes 7-14 days, and your finished pieces will be available for pick-up only; shipping is not offered for class creations. Remember to collect your masterpiece within 60 days to avoid recycling.
