Workshop: 2125

TITLE:

Cyanotypes: Nature's Blueprints

DESCRIPTION:

Cyanotypes are an easy darkroom-free exploration of the photographic process that can be adapted to any grade level. In this process, objects are laid onto prepared paper and exposed to the sun. Finished prints exhibit ghostly, white shadows of the objects against a deep indigo background. Participants will learn about the history of cyanotypes and then experiment with making their own. On the first day, we will cover how to prepare and coat cyanotype surfaces, exposure tips, and the development process. On the second day, participants will expose their cyanotypes, develop their images, and reflect on their experiments.
