The workshop will introduce you to the historical cyanotype printing process, which is a camera-less form of photography. Led by Katherine, the workshop will guide you step-by-step through the process of mixing chemicals, coating papers, exposing, and fixing your prints. You will have plenty of opportunity to experiment and leave with your own cyanotype masterpieces, as well as the knowledge to carry on creating at home.
You will also be introduced to a range of different materials to experiment printing with, including natural objects and working with acetate negatives.
No prior experience is needed to participate.
All materials will be provided but you are welcome to bring your own botanicals. These could be leaves or flowers you've picked up on your way to the workshop or flat objects such as pieces of lace, feathers and even photographic negatives or transparencies.
It’s best not to wear your favourite clothes just in case you get chemicals on them.
What we will cover in the workshop:
1. Introduction to the process and a little history of cyanotype printing.
2. Introduction to different printing materials including plant materials, household objects and using acetate negatives.
3. Mixing chemicals and coating paper using dry and wet cyanotype process.
4. Making your own prints using a variety of papers.
5. You will receive a digital workbook with step-by-step instructions to continue your cyanotype journey at home.
