Building on the skills of the previously held cyanotype workshop, this workshop will focus on photographic imagery, using vintage glass negatives I’ve collected in France over the years.
Students also have an opportunity, before the workshop begins, to create one of their own photos into a negative image that can be printed in cyan. In this workshop, we will also explore toning our prints in a variety of solutions, which will leave us with imagery in multiple color ways. Cyanotype is an alternative photographic process used to create prints in the distinctive shade of Prussian blue and white without the use of a camera, exposed with the sun and developed in water.
The resulting prints are lasting records of your creative process on that particular day, recorded in the blue and white palette of the ocean and sky that we’re so lucky to live near.
This workshop will review the fundamentals of the cyanotype process and will culminate with each participant creating their own original cyanotype prints from nature, objects, and vintage glass negatives that produce images of our human history.
All materials will be provided. If you have materials you’d like to bring to use for printing (sentimental objects, dried botanicals, etc), please feel free to bring them.
SPACE IS LIMITED!
