Introduction to Cyanotypes

Kids
Written By Emie Hughes

In this workshop, you will learn all about the mysterious and beautiful process called cyanotype.

The cyanotype is one of the oldest photographic processes, developed 1842 as a way to create multiple copies with UV light. It is actually the original blueprint! Over the course of 3 hours, you will learn the history of the process and how to create your own Prussian blue botanical prints. All materials and plant matter are provided, but you are welcome to bring objects to experiment with (flowers from your garden, glass containers, jewelry, dried botanicals, coins, etc). During the workshop, there will also be time to forage for botanicals outdoors. At the end of the workshop, you will know the process and have many beautiful works to take with you! All levels welcome.
