Cyanotype, also known as the blueprint, was discovered by Sir John Herschel in 1842. The cyanotype is an iron-based photographic processes developed in the early days of photography. It is typically an image rendered on paper in various shades of blue and, due to its relative simplicity, is often one of the first alternative processes that people study

This entry-level workshop will introduce participants to; making simple negatives for printing, safe and proper materials handling, paper preparation and coating, exposure, processing, and toning. We will also explore other materials on which to make cyanotypes. Participants are asked to bring their choice of a light-colored t-shirt or other article of clothing, swatch of canvas or other fabric, or any other material on which they’d like to experiment with this process. Participants will be given instructions on how to digitally prepare image files and will then learn how to make digital negatives. This is very basic and very easy.
