WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?
Use the sun and UV light to develop your own contact print photographs…..be at one with nature learning about this traditional photography technique known for it's deep prussian blue tones - Cyanotypes. This technique was first pioneered by the scientist Sir John Herschel in1842, and later grew in popularity among artists and photographers for it's versatile qualities.
WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS WORKSHOP?
During this introductory session you will create your own set of A5 and A4 paper prints.

You will then prepare your print designs before developing on specialist (pre-coated) paper in the UV light. Once treated, the Cyanotype liquids will be washed out in water trays and hung up to dry ready for you to collect and take home.
You will create 1 x A4 print and 2/3 x A5 prints.
