Join marine biologist and Shifting Tides founder Alanna Kieffer as she facilitates this special coastal workshop in Wheeler on Saturday, Aug. 22nd.
There are only a few spaces left for our upcoming Shifting Tides Workshop, so reserve your spot today to join us Saturday, Aug. 22nd, at The Salmonberry Restaurant in Wheeler.
Marine biologist and Shifting Tides founder Alanna Kieffer, a 2024 Stewardship Award winner from Travel Oregon, focuses Shifting Tides on connecting people and places through wild food and art, and will facilitate this special workshop using dried west coast seaweeds to make original, frame-worthy cyanotype prints you can take home!
A photographic blueprint made through a chemical reaction between UV light and chemically coated paper, cyanotypes have been a form of scientific documentation for seaweed, terrestrial plants, and natural specimens since they were first introduced in the late 1700s and were, in fact, one of the original forms of photographic printing.
Located at the mouth of the Nehalem River where the river opens into Nehalem Bay before arriving at the Pacific, Wheeler is located four miles south of Manzanita along U.S. 101 near the southern end of State Route 53.
Any contribution to WaterWatch of Oregon secures your spot for this opportunity to learn more about the process and techniques of making cyanotypes with compressed seaweeds and Pacific Northwest flora, so give what is most comfortable for you to attend our Shifting Tides Workshop on Saturday, Aug. 22nd.
