Cyanotype & Book Making - May 17 & 18, 2025 (multi-day)

BLUE IS THE WORLD’S FAVORITE COLOR: the Cyanotype Process

Learn how to make blueprints using this historic analog photo process, then bind the prints using a Drum Leaf method of book binding. In this workshop, we will meet at mid-day, when the sun is the strongest for best exposure times, for ‘plein air’ cyanotype printing. We will create compositions from seaweed and other plant materiasl and objects. Students will learn techniques and tips for this alternative photo print process. In the second session we will bind together 5 prints using a Drum Leaf binding method.

This is a two-day workshop, which meets 11am to 3pm both days.

Participants are encouraged to bring flat objects such as keys, plant leaves and flowers, tools, lace, stencils, twine, and/or translucent things.
