CYANOTYPES | ALTERNATIVE PROCESSES | ONE DAY WORKSHOP

 

Create stunning blueprints with this historic photographic process!

 

After this workshop, you will have the knowledge and hands-on experience to create your own cyanotypes using Praxis Photo Arts Center’s alternative process facility.

​

Join us for a one-day hands-on workshop exploring the art of cyanotype printing! This alternative photographic process allows you to create striking blue-toned images by printing your negatives or designing silhouette collages on various paper types and fabric. Cyanotypes can be developed on nearly any two-dimensional surface using UV light, unlocking endless creative possibilities.
