Study Hall is a monthly work session that invites Atlanta artists to create, experiment, and connect inside the museum.

Cyanotyping – a printing process in which objects are placed onto a photosensitive sheet of paper and exposed to UV light – has engaged many influential artists, including Anna Atkins and Meghann Riepenhoff. Join us to explore patterns and composition as you create cyanotype prints using items you bring from home, or draw from a selection of nature-related items we will provide. Watch your designs come to life in striking shades of blue and white, and leave with your very own print.
