Workshop Description

Cyanotype is a photographic printmaking process that involves the use of UV light to create exposures. Cyanotype images are generally known for their cyan/blue tint created using a mixture of chemicals: ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide. In this class, we will learn about the history of cyanotypes. We will discuss some examples of how this process has been used in contemporary art. Students will have the opportunity to learn how to make their own cyanotype prints, which they can take home at the end of class.

Scrap will provide materials, but please bring any objects you would like to experiment with. If you would like to make a t-shirt, feel free to bring one (white, light grey, or light beige will work best)! Just make sure it is made of cotton or a natural fiber and not a synthetic fabric.
