Introduction to Cyanotype photograms with LeAnne Vincent
Event description
Learn one of the oldest forms of photography that was developed in 1842 by Sir John Herschel and used in 1843 by Anna Atkins, a botanist, and the first known female photographer, to create the first photographic book.
Cyanotypes are commonly known as blueprints or sun prints, and are an exciting way to make photograms, from 2D and 3D objects. Using the traditional cyanotype chemistry formula, you will create cyanotype impressions from a range of objects and flora and all materials are provided.
LeAnne Vincent will guide you through the process of coating papers and fabric with the iron salt solutions, designing your prints with objects and flora and exposing and developing the prints to reveal the impressions.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own small objects (under A5 size), doilies, or flora, and an apron or old T-shirt to protect their clothing.
