with Kay Grogg

Calendar Apr 19, 2025 at 11 am, runs for 1 week

Grades 9 - ADULT

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 Prussian blue photo prints are the result of this process.
