Class Description

Description

This course explores image creation through the historic cyanotype photographic process rather than relying on conventional digital capture. Originating in 1842, the cyanotype uses distinctive Prussian blue chemistry to produce striking prints that offer a compelling artistic alternative to modern digital photography and contemporary printing methods.

Topics will include:

  • The history and evolution of photography
  • Photogram techniques and applications
  • Creating and preparing negatives
  • Paper selection and preparation
  • Substrate options and considerations
  • Exposing and developing prints with precision
  • Bleaching techniques for tonal variation
  • Toning methods for color enhancement
  • Lumen printing approaches

Supply list:

  • Craft knife for precise cutting
  • Straight-edge ruler for measurement
  • Black Sharpie or Pilot permanent marker
  • Black India ink for drawing
  • Assorted paint brushes in various sizes
  • Printmaking paper such as Rives BFK, Arches, or Arnheim, or fluid hot or cold press watercolor pads
  • Scissors for material preparation
  • Magic Tape for assembly
  • Notebook or sketchbook for documentation
  • Pencils for sketching and drawing
  • Eraser for corrections
  • Smock or apron for protection

Additional supplies will be recommended following individual consultation with each student. No prior experience is necessary to enroll in this course.
