Lessons on Mending:
Weather Printing

A workshop series offered at Princeton University, Fall 2025 and Spring 2026. 

​

Every day, we quite literally feel the weather around us--the weather that permeates our bodies, the weather that makes our lives possible or, in the case of storm, impossible. As data gathering and prediction have grown in accuracy over the last two centuries, tactile relationships with the air, sun, and water around us have shifted. Although we are deeply and painstakingly aware of the presence of weather during crisis events, what can be said of our everyday relationships to these powerful phenomena?

​

While numerical weather recording and prediction is a powerful way to express local weather conditions and global shifts in climate, this workshop series experiments with other ways of rendering weather that might prove equally meaningful in our lives and across our relationships with local environments. 

 

"Weather Printing" is a workshop series that explores this question through the utilization of a nineteenth century photographic printing process, known as cyanotype. Across two workshops, we will create cyanotype prints to capture the daily weather that surrounds us. We will connect these visual portraits of the weather with numerical readings, and organize them into a weather quilt as a culminating workshop process.
