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

11:00 am - 1:00 pm, Saturday August 30.

Grades 9 - Adult

Advanced Cyanotype will take you to the next level of this photo process. Students will further explore the wet method, learn how to layer their prints, make double exposures, and print on fabric. This two-session workshop will emphasize cyanotype techniques so the students can successfully create cyanotypes at home.

Pre-requisite: Beginning level Cyanotype Class or basic Cyanotype experience.

11:00 am - 1:00 pm, Saturdays, September 6, 13.
