Cyanotype is one of the oldest forms of photography and produces stunning results! In this 3-hour workshop, students will learn a wet method of making Cyanotypes using plant material as the subject. We will use cyanotype chemistry in a very experimental and painterly way. Students will take home their cyanotype to finish processing at home and will learn all the steps needed to finish.

Students can expect to learn:

• The history of cyanotype
• The varieties of and differences in watercolor paper
• How to create non-traditional cyanotypes
• How to use additives in the cyanotype process
• How to tone papers with natural toners
