Come and learn how to create distinctive blue prints using one of the oldest photographic printing processes at this fun and relaxed workshop, as part of International Woman's Day.
Known for their rich blue shades, cyanotypes were first introduced by astronomer, scientist and botanist John Herschel in 1842. Using just watercolour paper, chemicals and exposure to ultraviolet light, this deceptively simple process is particularly accessible as it does not require a darkroom.
Due to time constraints, paper will be pre-coated for you, however you will have the chance to mix up the chemicals yourself, while being guided step-by-step by Kat, and to also try your hand at creating wet cyanotypes.
Materials are included however please bring along items to print from such as flowers, leaves, lace, glass, see-through plastic packaging, developed photographic negatives or images on acetate.
Everything you make in the workshop will be yours to keep and use as desired.
