CYANOTYPES | ALTERNATIVE PROCESSES | ONE DAY WORKSHOP

 

Create unique blue print images!

 

This one-day alternative process workshop introduces the wonders and possibilities of printing your negatives or creating silhouette collages on blue colored Cyanotypes using many paper types and fabric.  Cyanotypes can be printed onto any 2D surface and use UV light to create a print. Use your imagination to open up a world of creative possibilities in this traditional alternative photographic process workshop.

 

Students will learn coating and drying techniques on various surfaces. We will also discuss the preparation of a variety of surfaces including paper and cloth. Students will then prepare, coat and dry their projects.  Then students will create Cyanotype prints on readied substrates. After printing we will explore finishing options for this unique process.
