Cyanotypes | Printing with the Sun

The cyanotype process is a historic photographic process dating back to the mid 1800s. The process involves creating a photographic print with UV light, using objects, stencils, or negatives to create an image. This workshop will explore the history + methods of the process, including paper coating, exposure, and printing with studio time dedicated to participants creating their own cyanotypes.

All materials are provided. Please bring any objects (leaves, etc) and/or stencils that you would like to print. Printing will also be done with digital negatives, please email a high resolution photo to Sam (samantha.j.metzner@gmail.com) prior to the event.
