Let’s Explore – Cyanotype Printing
November 10 2024 @ 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM
This month (assuming we don’t have rain!) we will be exploring cyanotype (commonly called blue printing).
Cyanotype is a photographic printing process using two chemicals (ferric ammonium and potassium ferricyanide) which react with UV light to produce a cyan-blue print. Engineers used the process well into the 20th century as a simple and low-cost process to produce copies of drawings, referred to as blueprints.
We will use botanical elements (leaves or grasses), stencils, doilies or lace to create decorative prints. Even if the weather is cloudy, the process will deliver amazing results!
