Classic Cyanotype

This workshop is part of a series of Cyanotype workshops taking place at the Out of the Blue Abbeymount Studios and Leith Makers. If you are new to Cyanotype you will learn the basics and have a chance to ask ALL the questions! Or, if you have some experience, this is a space where you can develope your practice and experiment. We will focus on:

• Getting an understanding of how the process works and what to look out for to get a successful result
• A demonstration of how to coat your own paper (If you have one of those cyanotype kits at home, but you are not quite sure where to start, this workshop is for you!)
• How to choose your objects
• Cyanotype set-up for days without sun
• Troubleshooting and creative techniques
• You will go home with a selection of your own Cyanotypes

No prior knowledge is necessary. All material is provided. For this workshop we will work on paper I prepared beforehand. I will bring a selection of subject matter for the Cyanotypes but you are welcome to bring objects to experiment with (no bigger than A5). Flat, somewhat translucent objects tend to work best.
