Whether you have an interest in photography-related media or unique artistic processes, learn how to create one-of-a-kind cyanotype prints combining printing, photographic (light) processes, and nature.
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 .
Participants will take home their own cyanotype printed postcard, art prints and textile pieces.
All materials are included in the workshop fee, but participants are welcome to bring personal objects to create their image/print.
