About This Activity
Discover the magic of one of the oldest photographic printing processes—cyanotype, known for its rich, Prussian-blue images. In this hands-on class, students will explore the history and chemistry behind cyanotypes while creating their own sun-developed prints. Using found objects, botanicals, photo negatives, and creative compositions, students will learn how to coat paper, experiment with light exposure, and develop their artwork using simple, accessible materials. By the end of the course, students will have a collection of unique cyanotype prints and a deeper understanding of alternative photographic techniques. This class emphasizes creativity, experimentation, and the joy of watching art develop right before your eyes. Perfect for beginners or anyone interested in photography, printmaking, or mixed-media art. NO CLASS MARCH 19, 2026
