Cyanotypes: A how to with the process
This program is for those who are curious about the Cyanotype Process and wanting to make their own prints at home.
The Cyanotype process is a simple photographic process that uses the suns UV light to expose its light sensitive material, then developed in water to make a final image. This process can be used to make many types of images and has a rich visual history since its invention in 1842 by Sir John Hershel.
In this program, attendees will be learning the process from the mixing the chemicals, coating their own paper, and helpful considerations for using materials and negatives for making prints. Attendees will be taking a few sheets of coated paper home at the end of this program.
