What is a cyanotype?
The cyanotype printing technique is one of the earliest forms of photography, invented in 1842 by Sir John Herschel.
A cyanotype print is created by exposing UV sensitive paper to UV light, which is found in the sunshine! First, objects are laid on top of the UV sensitive paper and exposed to UV light. Once the print has been exposed to the sunshine for enough time, the print is washed in water to fix the image to the page. The outcome is a striking blue & white silhouette image of the object you laid on top!
Who is this workshop for?
This workshop is aimed at beginners, no previous experience is needed. The workshop is suitable for all abilities and ages. Older children are welcome to attend with a parent.
Do I need to bring anything along?
Materials and equipment are provided for this session, however feel free to bring along a small selection of objects to use on your prints to make them personal to you.
Here are some ideas of what you could bring to personalise your prints:
-Buttons
-seaweed
-feathers
-plants/flowers
-small toys eg: lego, toy animals
