Upcoming Events
Introduction to Cyanotype with Chris Losee
In this two-hour hands-on workshop, we’ll start by briefly covering the history of cyanotypes, the chemistry involved in making prints, and some of the ways contemporary artists are using this alternative photographic process. Then we’ll dive into making our own blue-toned prints! We will go over safety procedures, mix the solutions, and coat the paper. Then we’ll expose it, and run the print under water to make images appear.
