Event Details
Introduction to Cyanotype sun-printing with Pat Martin
Events
Cyanotypes are one of the oldest photographic printing processes in the history of photography. A cyanotype is effectively a blueprint – just like that used by architects for building plans.
The distinctive feature of the cyanotype print is its shade of cyan blue (Prussian Blue), which results from exposure of a specific mix of chemicals to ultraviolet light.
I this course you will learn how to make cyanotype sun-prints from photo negatives and positives, plant material and a host of other 3-dimensional objects.
You will learn how to create interesting and artistic images and marks (on paper that can absorb the light-sensitive chemical solution) and come away with several finished prints of your own making.
