Description:

In this experimental workshop, we will be working with non-traditional papers. By using different colored papers, we will explore how the blue of a cyanotype changes depending on what material is used. We will use some non traditional paper types (non watercolor paper) and experiment with the results.

If you are curious about a paper type, you are welcome to bring in your own supplies, or use the materials we will have on hand. Natural fiber works best for cyanotypes. We will fail or succeed together!

We will be printing digital negatives and using them for image making. I will show you my workflow and help print negatives. You will leave with your digital negatives and the prints you create.

Materials:

Participants are asked to bring 3 - 5 high quality digital images in TIF form sized 8” on the longest side at 300 dpi on a USB.

A notebook and pencil for note taking

Apron

Images, digital or film

Paper for printing (Optional)
