Cyanotype printing with Raimond de Weerdt
10am - 4pm Sun 19 Jan 2020
Event Space
Create beautiful images without a camera
The Cyanotype: This forgotten photographic printing process from the 19th Century was invented by Sir John Herschel (1792–1871) in 1842. Also known as shadowgraphs or blue prints, this simple process produces prints that are cyan blue.
Workshop participants will create and take home a collection of cyanotype prints. With cyanotype printing there is no need for a darkroom and images can be printed on paper and textiles such as silk, linen, cotton and calico. Students should bring along a range of objects to the workshop to create prints, such as flowers, leaves and other cuttings from the garden. Materials such as lace and doilies work really well too.
