Raimond de Weerdt I Cyanotype Printing - All You Need Is Blue
Cyanotype printing is one of the oldest photographic processes, invented by Sir John Herschel in 1842. Also known as blueprints or shadowgraphs, the process produces distinctive deep-blue images using a simple combination of light-sensitive chemicals, sunlight and water.
This hands-on weekend workshop will introduce students to cyanotype printing. With little or no photographic experience, it is possible to create beautiful and unique images using this process. Students will learn how to make cyanotype prints using everyday objects and natural materials, such as feathers, flowers, leaves, cuttings from the garden, lace and other semi-transparent or textured objects.
Raimond will also support students wanting to work with digital images to create digital negatives to be used for cyanotype prints. Information on preparing digital files for printing will be provided approximately two weeks before the workshop.
The workshop is both informative and enjoyable, and students will return home with a collection of beautifully hand-printed cyanotypes.
Suitable for all levels.
