Cyanotype Printmaking Workshop

There will be two date options for this class, Sat, June 19th or July 17th.

The cyanotype process is a simple, inexpensive, and endlessly versatile process that can be used on a number of surfaces, including paper and fabric as well as glass and wood. The initial natural color is a beautiful deep blue; but through toning, the color can range through grays, browns and black. It can be used in combination with a wide range of other media, making it a useful tool for photographers, printmakers, painters, fabric artists, and even ceramicists and sculptors. Yet it is simple enough that non-artists – even older children – can use it to make simple images.

In this workshop for beginners, participants will learn the simple mixing of the chemical emulsion, explore various ways of making both photographic and non-photographic negatives, and enjoy the process of exposing and developing their own images.  This workshop is $75 per person, all materials included.

Class sizes are limited to 7 to allow for social distancing. Until further notice, we ask that masks be worn while inside the building.
