Learn about the art of Cyanotype printmaking at White Feather Farm
This 3-hour workshop, led by Viktorsha Uliyanova, introduces how to create beautiful handmade blueprints using camera-less photography. Cyanotype 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 photographic image, called a photogram, to take home. An optional toning technique will be introduced to participants wanting to experiment with different color hues.

Viktorsha Uliyanova is an interdisciplinary artist and educator residing in New
York. Her work is informed by her upbringing in the Soviet Union, political
repression, and the immigrant experience. Uliyanova’s photographic, fiber, and
installation works investigate loss, collective trauma, and cultural identity narrated
through the prism of memory. She uses alternative processes and the archives to
point to ways the present and the future are reflected in the past.

Photography and Related Media at SUNY New Paltz. Her work has been exhibited
