Cyanotype is one of the oldest photographic techniques. Cyanotype is one of the oldest photographic techniques. A blue image is created by contact exposure of shapes arranged directly onto paper coated with a photosensitive substance.
During the cyanotype workshop, you will learn the basics of this technique and how to prepare paper for work, create interesting compositions and obtain legible prints.
These classes are for people who enjoy manual work, value concentration, and want to try a less obvious photography technique in the peaceful atmosphere of a studio.
You will prepare your own plant compositions and make cyanotype prints.
First, I'll show you how the entire process works—from preparing the paper, through arranging the composition, to developing the finished work. I'll also briefly discuss the history of cyanotype.
Then you will prepare the photosensitive paper, arrange the plants and do some work, testing different arrangements and exposure times.
After exposure, rinse the prints in water and you will see the characteristic blue appear.
Finally, you will select your works and frame them.
There will also be time for coffee, something sweet and work at a leisurely pace.
I provide all the materials needed to complete the work – paper, reagents, dried plants and tools.
Each participant will also receive two clip frames to frame selected prints and a protective packaging for transporting the finished works – made of ecological materials and tailored to their form.
Hot drinks and small sweet treats are available during classes.
Dress comfortably – don't worry if you get a little dirty.
Please limit your use of perfume. Please arrive no earlier than 5 minutes before the start – I may still be getting ready.
Up to 7 days before the workshop you can change the date to another one if there are places available.
