This workshop will introduce you to the historical cyanotype printing process, which is a camera-less form of photography.  The workshop will guide you step-by-step through the process of mixing chemicals, coating papers, exposing, and fixing your prints.  

All materials will be provided but you are welcome to bring your own botanicals. These could be leaves or flowers you've picked up on your way to the workshop or flat objects such as pieces of lace, feathers and even negatives. 

It’s best not to wear your favourite clothes just in case you get chemicals on them.
What we will cover in the workshop:

1. Introduction to the process and a little history of cyanotype printing.
2. Introduction to different printing materials including plant materials, household objects and using negatives.
3. Mixing chemicals and coating paper using dry and wet cyanotype process.
4. Making your own prints.
5.  You will receive a workbook with step-by-step instructions to continue your cyanotype journey at home.
