Wet Cyanotype Workshop (Guest Workshop)

Join us for a Botanical Cyanotype Workshop!

We're excited to welcome photographer and cyanotype artist Janice Meyers-Foreman into our workshop space this spring for a hands-on Cyanotype workshop! Want to learn cyanotype printing, or take your cyanotype printing to the next level. Learn to add texture and colour to your cyanotype.

Cyanotype Printing is a beautiful photographic printing process that produces a Prussian blueprint, unique each time. Commonly called sun-print, it is a non-toxic process. Engineers and botanists historically used the process to make drawings and plant images. A photosensitive solution is applied to paper once exposed to sun or UV light, the uncovered areas of the paper turn a deep rich blue.

This month we will learn about adding different liquid solutions such as vinegar, soap bubbles, and different plant-based powders that will add texture and colour to prepared paper before exposure to the UV light.

Don’t worry if you haven’t been to a workshop before, we will be covering the basics and the first part of the process is much the same, you will catch up quickly.

We will provide pre-coated paper, tools as well as a collection of leaves and flowers to work with. You are invited to bring any fresh or dried flowers and leaves from your garden. I will have some different lace, paper overlays, buttons, and feathers that create wonderful images, you might like to bring any opaque or translucent material (i.e. lace, buttons, or sea glass) you think might add interest to your images. 
 
UV lights will be provided if the sun doesn’t come out to play!
