The cyanotype is a photographic process of 1842 and was one of the first photographic printing processes invented. It produces a blue photographic print that will interest both photographers, painters, and designers.

Two approaches will be explored during this one-day workshop. First, the technique of the photogram will be discussed. A photogram is an image obtained by the shadows of objects placed on photographic paper. You bring small objects: plants, leaves, feathers, string, lace, dried flowers, etc. The second process involves using digital negative (transparencies).

You will learn to: prepare chemicals; apply emulsion on paper; tone prints with natural products to add different shades other than Prussian blue; and make a digital negative. 

At the end of the workshop, you will leave with your achievements as well as a printed summary of the technique and a list of supplies needed to practice.

 Workshop limited to 8 people.
