Learn how to make beautiful botanical cyanotype prints with non-toxic chemicals and plants
This 3-hour workshop introduces how to create beautiful handmade blueprints using camera-less photography. Cyanotope is one of the oldest alternative photographic processes that was developed in 1852. It uses non-toxic chemicals, ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide to create a UV sensitive solution which produces vibrant Prussian blue colors. Participants will use plants and leaves from the farm to compose a photo- graphic image, called a photogram, to take home. An optional toning technique will be introduced to particpants wanting to experiment with different color hues.
