About this workshop:

In this beginner cyanotype workshop participants will learn to prepare emulsion, create a negative image or create an image on a different transparent material, and develop an image with a simple bath using acid and intensifier. We will focus on using natural daily objects like feathers, flowers, and leaves to combine and create graphically impactful images.

What to bring:

Participants can also bring their own images to create cyanotypes using transparent paper. Contrasted black and white photos are best but any will work. We will supply 1-2 pages of transparent paper for each participant, but you are welcome to bring more if you would like!

We will utilize an app called Pixart (download for Apple devices here) in order to turn images into negatives that will then be transferred onto transparent paper. Feel free to download Pixart to your device before this workshop!
