Cyanotype photography is a camera-less technique that involves laying an object on paper coated with a solution of iron salts before exposing it to sunlight / UV light and washing with water to create white and blue images.
Through this workshop you’ll gain further knowledge of cyanotype photography and an understanding of the process of making a cyanotype print, from mixing chemicals to treating some paper.
You will learn to make your own print using a variety of objects / collected specimens provided by the artist and will take away 3 pieces of water colour paper cyanotype prints!
During the workshop participants will be looking at the archive, our relationship with nature and our environment, as well as touching on composition.
You are more than welcome to bring along any leaves or flowers you'd like to u which are transparent or have a nice outline.
