Join us to explore the photographic alt-process of cyanotypes! Cyanotypes, otherwise known as blueprints, are one of the earliest forms of photography used by engineers and astronomers as a simple and low-cost process to produce copies of drawings. In this workshop, we’ll experiment with fun and easy ways to create cyanotypes. By laying film negatives and/or 2D objects on top of the chemically treated material, you’ll create a deep blueprint with bright, ghost-white silhouettes. Feel free to bring your own film negatives, spring botanicals, or anything you’d like to try for imagery with this process.
