Join visual artist and educator Emily Rose Michaud for an afternoon of hands-on cyanotype creation and experimentation.

Cyanotype, also known as blueprint or sunprint, is a photographic print distinguished by its cyan blue colour. These prints are made by treating a surface (paper, textile, leather) with iron salts that react to UV light or sunlight.

In this workshop, you’ll learn the basic principles and techniques for creating cyanotypes prints, from working with photosensitive mediums to developing and drying prints, as well as experimenting with different objects, surfaces and treatments such as lemon, salt and soap bubbles as we make our own mini prints. You’ll take away multiple one-of-a-kind cyanotypes.
