About this Event
About this course
Cyanotype is one of the oldest photographic processes, using sunlight to produce beautiful and delicate blue images. Although a simple process it allows users to think in more, conceptual ways that allow more complex work to develop
In this workshop participants will learn how to coat materials for exposure, how the process works, and a variety of different processes within the main process, including the toning of images.
The approach is experimental and offers participants the chance to make their own images and see the further potential of the process
If the weather gods aren't on our side, we have a UV exposure unit as a backup to help to expose our images.
What will I need to bring?
All materials and equipment will be provided.
Participants can bring their own natural materials, leaves feathers etc, the flatter the better.
Other items that work well in this process are ready made acetate prints and other man made materials, lace, thin material etc.
You may wish to bring a water bottle. Teas and coffees are provided
