Explore the cyanotype process by using sunlight to create brilliant blue and toned prints from objects, drawings, and enlarged photo negatives. Open to ages 15–18.

Course description

Learn about the cyanotype process, one of the earliest photographic techniques developed in the 1840s. Using sunlight and water, create vivid blue prints from objects, drawings, and transparent materials.

Through hands-on experimentation, make photograms using natural and found objects, and incorporate sketches, writing, and simple transparencies.
