Intro to Cyanotype
With Susan Murie
2 Saturday mornings
January 11, 18th
10 AM - 1 PM
6 participants maximum
Cost: $175, + $15 materials fee

Cyanotype is a photographic printing process that results in a distinctive cyan-blue print. It is an inexpensive and simple process that yields lovely results. We will explain the process of making blue cyanotype prints. We will start with a short history of cyanotype and then discuss paper/fabric selection, tools and supplies needed, how to mix the chemistry, and how to coat and dry the paper/fabric. We will also be discussing what materials are ideal for the cyanotype process (flowers, leaves, objects, lace, etc). Then we will learn to expose and actually make the prints using UV light - plus we will discuss how this can be done outside in the sunlight or with an indoor exposure unit. You’ll learn the signs that tell you when your print is ready for washing, how to wash and dry your prints, and finally how to best display and store your prints.

You are encouraged to bring your own materials to print with including large negatives if you have them. We will supply paper, chemistry and tools to make prints. You may wish to bring a smock or apron as the solution does stain.
