Workshop Description:

Invented in 1842, the cyanotype process uses iron based chemistry, relies on sunlight to create an image and water to develop the beautiful Prussian Blue photographs. This 3 hour workshop is an introduction to the cyanotype process and will include its history, the process, and the fundamentals of making these prints. We will work with objects (flowers, botanicals, seaweeds, ) and you are welcome to bring small objects from home to experiment with. Each participant will create their own unique cyanotypes to bring home with them and will have the knowledge to keep making more!
