After an introduction to the process and its history you will be shown how to coat your own paper with cyanotype chemicals. Whilst this is drying you will have an opportunity to make some test prints before using the paper which you have hand coated to create a range of images using sunlight to expose your images and then water to develop them. We’ll be making some prints using the available evening light and then working with a UV lamp. At the end of the two hour session you will leave with a range of prints.
You’ll also receive a handout at the end of the session recapping the process and detailing a list of suppliers and online resources.

Objects such as plants, glass bottles, buttons, lace will be provided but you are also free to bring your own items to create your image with. Aprons and gloves will also be provided

Introduction to Cyanotypes with Sally Gunnett

In this three hour workshop, you will be introduced to the basics of cyanotype.

Using a light green photosensitive chemical, your artwork will change colour when it is exposed to UV light. The chemical is washed away and you are left with a beautiful blue colour, a fascinating process with brilliant results.

We will provide all of the materials, if you want to bring in your own leaves or flowers or other quirky shaped things that you would like to work with then do bring them along!

You will be able to take away 6-10 amazing greetings cards with you!

Cyanotype Workshop

Learn how to get started with this dinstinctive BLUE Victorian photographic printing technique in my 3 hour hands-on workshop. You'll coat paper with light-sensitive chemicals and make beautiful images using plants, flowers and UV light. You can also print your own photographs as I will create digital negatives for you to use in the workshop. But don't worry, there's nothing digital about this workshop! It's proper, hands-on stuff. Each print will be totally unique and have your brush strokes around the edges.

All paper and chemicals is included in the price. ONCE YOU HAVE BOOKED, PLEASE REPLY TO YOUR CONFIRMATION EMAIL WITH 2 IMAGES YOU WOULD LIKE TO PRINT. I will need to have these images 5 days before the workshop please. If images are submitted too late you can still attend but will make photograms using objects and can print images using my negatives if you want to. Images with a good range of midtones work well, very contrasty images work less well but it depends what effect you want! Feel free to try anything! Please wear clothes you don't mind potentially getting stained.

It'd be great if you could bring some of your own objects for the photogram part - leaves, flowers, objects. Anything with an interesting shape or silhouette or something translucent with an interesting texture (eg, lace).
