Objective:
Create cyan-blue prints using one of the oldest photographic processes by making contact prints using ultraviolet lights or sunlight.
Course Description:
Cyanotype is a photographic and light sensitive printing process that produces a permanent cyan-blue image on paper or cloth. We will make personal images by setting objects on photo sensitive paper, using sunlight or UV light to expose and develop. This is a great activity to do together with friends and family. Feel free to bring your own personal objects that have a distinct shape to set on the light sensitive paper or cloth. If you like, you can also bring digital black and white negatives to print.
