Description
This fun workshop will introduce students to one of the earliest camera-less photographic processes. The cyanotype is an alternative process invented by scientist and astronomer Sir John Herschel in 1842. It involves laying objects on a surface coated with a solution of iron salts before exposing it to sunlight to create stunning Prussian blue and white prints. You will learn how to create your own cyanotypes, experimenting in a variety of ways to produce beautiful unique prints. All materials will be provided. Participants are also encouraged to bring their own objects with them on the day. Advice will be provided on suitable objects.
