Laboratory Description

Have you ever wondered how historical photographs achieved that bluish sightly eerie image? This workshop will unveil the old monochrome photographic printing process of the Cyanotype, which produces a cyan-blue print. Cyanotypes use a few chemicals and the sun to print pictures on any surface such as paper, fabric, leather, ceramic or wood. After about a hundred and seventy years of its existence, cyanotype is still today a beautiful photographic craft able to create stunning images using an antique process.

Materials:

Students are advised to bring their own negative images printed on Litho film from which they would create their Cyanotype. Negative examples will also be provided for students to practice with. All other materials will be provided by the school and included in the price of workshop.
