About Printing Workshop: One Day Cyanotype Course

Listed Under Workshops Events / Arts and Crafts Events

The cyanotype process is one of the earliest photographic processes and produces a beautiful cyan blue print. This type of printing is unique in that it is a form of photography that does not require a camera or a darkroom meaning you can replicate what you have learned on the course at home.

What to expect

During this one day workshop you will learn how to create your own cyanotype prints using the traditional method and also the experimental wet cyanotype method. You will have the opportunity to experiment with the process in a variety of ways to produce a series of unique works you can take home and enjoy.

We will cover a brief history of the process, look at examples of artists who work with the cyanotype process and explain the materials you need to get started.
You will be shown how to mix the chemicals, coat your paper and once dry how to expose your images using both daylight and UV lights. You will have plenty of opportunity to experiment and we will look at different ways to create images including making photograms with plants and flowers, using photographic negatives as well as drawing and mark making onto acetate.

What to bring

All materials will be provided. Participants are also encouraged to bring their own objects with them on the day; fresh or dried plants and flowers or photographic negatives and images that can be traced. Katherine can advise on what objects will be suitable. You may wish to bring disposable gloves and to wear clothing you don’t mind getting any chemicals onto.

Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
