Learn how to make photographic cyanotypes. Cyanotype is a 19th century process of making blue-colored prints on paper using sunlight (or UV light) for exposing and water for developing. In this class, students will learn how to print digital negatives from their photographs on the computer and then will coat and print on their own cyanotype paper.
Students should bring a flash drive or CD with photographs with which to make their digital negatives during the class.
Students who are unable to come to the papermaking session on July 17th may purchase the paper they need or bring their own for their prints.
