This is a single-session, 3 hour online workshop.

Blue is the world’s favorite color! Learn the history and process of cyanotype and learn about contemporary artists using cyanotype in their practice. Create hand drawn negatives and use objects to make blue photograms. Make several prints with prepared coated paper provided in the class kit. All steps in the cyanotype process will be demonstrated.

A mailed kit is included in the class fee and contains ten sheets of hand coated cyanotype watercolor paper, a DIY contact frame, and tracing paper to create hand drawn negatives. 

Because of difficulties with international shipping, this class is limited to US students.
