What to Expect:

Learn a new technique: most cyanotype printing creates a negative photographic image on a blue surface where the shadow of the objects placed on the surface is captured by the sun light. The name cyanotype derives from the Ancient Greek words for "dark blue" and "type/mark".
Hands-On-learning: you'll be introduced to different techniques such as Cyanotype and Cyanolumen and you'll use different toners to effect colour change in your print.
Interactive Session: learn about the history this camera-less photographic process and create your own one-of-a-kind prints. Full guidance given by our experienced tutor Mary Thomas. The workshop aims to deepen your understanding of the Cyanotype Photo process and enhance your skills through hands-on-practice and expert guidance.
Comprehensive materials: Mary will provide UV lamps and pre-prepared light sensitive surfaces.
