Cyanotype Workshop

Overview

A cameraless method of image making first explored in the Victorian era, invented by Sir John Herschel in 1842 as a means to copy his notes and used to great effect by Anna Atkins in 1843 with the first publication of the original book, "Photographs of British Algae-Cyanotype Impressions”

This process was the first non silver iron based process easily ‘developed’ in water. There is a growing interest in this accessible method of image creation which can be used by all skill levels.

During the 1 and 1/2 hours you will learn to:

1- Create a composition

2- make a direct print

3- use a digital negative/acetate

4- Cut a stencil

5- Develop your print

6- In development tricks

7- Toning examples if you don’t like blue!
