This workshop is held at DCP from 5pm-8pm.

Experience the spontaneous joy of seeing images come to life through a process that takes one back to the origins of photography! Cyanotypes are the exciting “blueprint” process from the 1800s. This alternative photographic process is relatively easy and rewarding, gaining results that have an ephemeral beauty that is difficult for other photo techniques to match. In this three-hour hands-on workshop, students will explore making cyanotype photograms, prints from inkjet negatives, and toning techniques using tea or coffee!

You do not need to have any photographic experience to enjoy this workshop. All supplies will be provided for you to hand-coat and expose your own prints. Students are encouraged to bring their own fun 3D objects or flat materials (like leaves, feathers, etc.) for photograms, as well as their own paper, to experiment with (recommended papers include bristol, watercolor, and printmaking). Images containing a good tonal range are recommended for inkjet negatives.
