About this Event

Join artist and PhD student Kean O’Brien to explore cyanotypes in this workshop! Create striking cyan-blue images by placing objects on a light-sensitive surface and exposing them to sunlight.

Unlike other photographic techniques, cyanotype is simple and hands-on. Cyanotype is a historic photographic printing process, first discovered in 1842 by Sir John Herschel, an accomplished astronomer and scientist, and developed as a way to reproduce diagrams. There’s no need for a darkroom—just sunlight and a special iron salt solution. We’ll provide all the materials you need, or you can bring along small objects or natural items to use in your own unique cyanotype prints.
