About the Cyanotype Workshop

Cyanotype is one of the earliest traditional photographic printing processes, recognised for its distinctive deep-blue color.

Today, cyanotype has developed into a popular form of creative art-making. It is playful, easy to explore and does not require any professional photography or art experience.

Using photographs, flowers, leaves and other decorative materials, everyone can create a unique blue-toned artwork. It is a simple and enjoyable DIY technique that can also bring new texture and character to your photography.
