Come and learn all about the popular alternative photography method known as Cyanotype. This historic photography method, otherwise known as blueprints (sunprints), is one of the earliest forms of photography. Make beautiful blue cyanotype prints on watercolor paper by laying 2D objects on top of chemically treated material, you’ll create a deep blue print with bright, ghost-white silhouettes creating beautiful prints. Cyanotype workshops offer participants the ability to perform something that seems like magic.
