Cyanotype is the “original” sun-printing process, one of the earliest photographic techniques. Discovered in 1842 and distinctive for producing rich, Prussian blue monochromatic prints, Cyanotype was popular well into the 20th century as an inexpensive method for reproducing photographs, documents, maps and plans (hence the enduring architectural term “blueprint”) and famously, for making impressions of biological specimens in the field (“photograms”) 🌀💐
The objective of the Bronx Blue workshop is to demystify the cyanotype process! The workshop is geared for beginners who will be given the opportunity to leave with their own cyanotype featuring one of their own images. All materials will be provided!
Participants will leave with cyanotypes on pretreated 5x7 paper or 8x10 fabric sheets and will also be given literature on cyanotypes to take home so that they can continue the creative process on their own!
For this workshop because of time, we will be offering pretreated paper and fabric but cyanotype chemicals will be offered to coat anything non-perishable to water that participants can bring.
Participants are responsible for bringing a black bag or cardboard box to bring their items home, as it cannot be exposed to the sun.
IF YOU SELECT SLIDING SCALE TIER 2, please send the image you would like to use for the workshop to the following email: sofievasquezphotography@gmail.com
