Cyanotype is a photo process developed in the late 1800's. We will be coating paper with a photosensitive solution to make our exposures with the sun. Exploring both regular and the wet processes will give the participants a variety of prints. This class is a great way to understand how photography was originally used in its inception. Beautiful Indigo blue photo prints are the result of this process.
