Welcome to Art in the Greenhouse

Fall 2025 – Winter 2026 Offerings

Cyanotype Sundays

Spend a sunny morning from 11am to 1pm in the Hanover Garden Club Greenhouse discovering the magic of cyanotype! Almost 200 years old, this unique fusion of printmaking and photography creates lush, cyan- blue images. We will make prints on fabric or paper in a variety of sizes using flowers, plants, and any other botanical trinkets you'd like to bring from home. Natural items like feathers, leaves, and stones will work well, but you are welcome to bring anything that can cast a decent shadow! Paper wrappers, crushed soda cans, and other found objects are welcome. All levels welcome, beginners especially encouraged.

Instructor Emil O'Melia is a teaching artist from Baltimore, MD. He has taught all sorts of arts & crafts to youth, teens, and adults. Nowadays, you can find Emil printmaking, cartooning, designing, or investigating haunted places in White River Junction.

Per class fees covers materials & supplies, attend one date or all of them, $10 per class for HGC Members and $15 per class for Guests. Materials provided: pre-treated fabric, paper, Sensitizers (2), big paint brushes or foam brushes. All classes take place at 11am in the HGC Greenhouse, 41 Grasse Rd, Hanover, NH.

Appropriate for ages 14+, pre-registration and payment is required, and class size is limited to 15 attendees per session, so don’t delay! Registration fees are non-refundable but you can make up a missed class at a later date if there is space.
