Botanical Blueprints: Intro to Cyanotype
You don't need to be an artist to enjoy making beautiful cyanotypes!
In this introductory class you’ll learn all the basics of this amazing alternative photographic technique. Using light sensitive chemicals you’ll expose prints in the sun and process them in water. By the time you leave you’ll have some gorgeous 8 x 10 blueprints and the know-how to create more at home!
LEARN…
• about the materials used, how to mix light-sensitive chemicals, and prep paper for sun printing
• what makes a good sunprint
• how to expose images in the sun and process them
• ideas to make your prints unique
Lots of beautiful plants are budding and blooming during each season of the year. Let's celebrate the natural world by making botanical blueprints together!
