Cyanotype Sun Printing Workshop

A day of cyanotype sun printing with plants. During this workshop you’ll discover a camera-less photography technique. This technique was discovered by Sir John Herschel in 1842 and used by Anna Atkins to create detailed images of ferns and algae.

During this process, iron salts are mixed and turn blue when they are exposed to UV light. This exciting process can be used to make photograms. These photograms can be adapted in a multitude of ways to create artistic images. You can create multiple exposures, different shades of blue and use masks and stencils make unique, one-of-a-kind prints.
