Cyanotype Workshop with Steven Mastroianni

Interested in learning more about Steven Mastroianni's practice? Come to Waterloo Arts this Saturday, June 28th, from 12-4pm for a free cyanotype demostration and workshop!

Cyanotype is one of the oldest photographic processes, dating to the 1840s. Early adopters utilized the technique to render images of botanical samples, and later to create the original “blueprints”, making multiple prints from mechanical drawings. This cameraless technique bypasses the traditional camera negative to create shadows of objects placed directly on sensitized paper and exposed to sunlight. When processed, the shadows left behind are reversed, white where the object laid, and deep blue where the sun was allowed to expose the paper.

You’re invited to make your own cameraless sun prints during this demo and workshop on Saturday, June 28th from 12-4pm. We will provide the paper and chemistry; you provide the imagination. Participants should bring small, flat objects (leaves, flowers, various bric-a-brac) to use in their prints.

This outdoor process is extremely simple with no hazardous chemicals, but staining can occur if spilled, so dress appropriately or bring an apron.

Participants are encouraged to register by Friday, June 27th at 6pm to secure their spot.
