Cyanotype Workshop in the OMAM Gardens

Wednesday, November 17, 2021Thursday, November 18, 2021
Cyanotype is one of the oldest photographic printing processes; made by treating a surface like paper or cloth and then exposing it to UV light. It produces a beautiful cyan-blue print, and can be used to capture botanical specimens or reproduce drawings, like blueprints.

In this two-day intensive led by artist Catherine Cross Tsintzos, participants will discover the traditional and wet cyanotype methods, as well as photogram and lumen prints. They will also learn about the solutions and products used for capturing images in different colors, and will experiment with printing on different papers, fabrics and non-traditional materials. Composition, overlays, lettering, drawing, digital and vintage negatives, X-rays, plants and fiber materials, light measure, and developing will also be discussed.

All supplies are provided; open to participants 16 & older. Please note this workshop takes place outside in the OMAM Gardens. Bring a picnic lunch and anything else you’ll need to be comfortable outdoors. Park in the south parking lot, and meet at the Emmons Cottage.
