Cyanotype Workshop

18th April | 1pm - 4pm | Trondra Hall

Discover the magic of cyanotype printing, a historic photographic printing process from 1842.

 

Discover the magic of cyanotype, one of the earliest photographic printing processes, known for its rich Prussian-blue tones and dreamlike, high-contrast images. Developed in 1842, cyanotype uses UV light and simple chemistry to create striking prints from plants, and photographic negatives, combining art & science.

​

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the basics of coating paper, exposing your prints to light, and developing them in water. Experiment with natural materials and found objects to create your own unique botanical or abstract designs. No prior experience is needed all materials provided but you can bring any extras you'd like.
