SUMMARY:Blue and Beyond: a Cyanotype Workshop with Suzi Hyden
DESCRIPTION:Curious about cyanotype? Join us for an introduction to this historic photographic process\, where light and chemistry come together to create striking\, image-based prints. \nIn this hands-on workshop\, participants will explore both foundational and expanded cyanotype techniques. We’ll be working with high-quality Hahnemühle 300gsm watercolor paper and pre-treated fabric sheets\, with a focus on elevating the process through hand-coating and experimental toning. Using materials like tea\, coffee\, and red wine\, we’ll shift traditional blue tones into a range of sepia\, slate\, and deep eggplant hues. \nWhether you’re new to cyanotype or looking to push the process further\, this session offers a supportive environment to experiment and explore. \nLogistics & Flow: \nThis workshop will follow a 3-hour staggered format to allow for movement between processes. Indoors\, we’ll use a dimmed area for hand-coating paper and set up a toning station during the final hour. Outdoors\, we’ll take advantage of natural sunlight for exposures\, along with a rinse station and temporary drying line for finished prints. \nDate: Saturday\, June 13\, 12-3PM \nIn the event of rain on June 13\, the workshop will be held on the backup date of June 14 from 12–3 PM. \nREGISTRATION IS OPEN UNTIL JUNE 6. Please register in advance to secure your spot. \nLocation: \nThe Dayton Society of Artists \n48 High Street  \nDayton\, Ohio. 45403 \nCost: \nNon-Members – $75 \nMembers – $55 \nPre-registration Required \nAbout your Instructor: \nSuzi Hyden is a cyanotype artist working in rural Champaign County\, Ohio\, whose work celebrates the environment by combining elements from nature and repurposed materials. She uses local botanicals to create her cyanotypes\, commonly known as sun printing or blueprinting. She incorporates recycled vintage fabrics\, reused papers\, and found objects as the substrates and framing for her cyanotypes. She exhibits throughout Ohio and offers workshops to children and adults.

SUMMARY:The Light In Between
DESCRIPTION:The Light In Between emerges in a world of continual rupture. Not as escape\, and not as resolve\, but as the brief and necessary moments that allow us to remain. This season\, Dayton Dance Initiative invites artists and audiences into works shaped by partial illumination — moments that flicker\, hold\, and pass between us. Through shared attention\, embodied inquiry\, and collaborative process\, these new choreographic works ask how we stay in relation — how we notice\, together\, the spaces between impact and breath. This season also opens a new threshold for Dayton Dance Initiative: our first-ever choreographic commission\, extending beyond Dayton to support the work of David Morse. Rooted in trust\, time\, and exchange\, this commission reflects our belief that connection — like light — travels\, arrives\, and reshapes the space it enters. What we practice here does not end in this space; it returns with us — not as answers\, but as the strength to continue.
