Cyanotype Art Workshop
$75.00
In this workshop we are exploring the chemistry of blueprints and the power of the sun with artist Emily Jeffords. Emily shares with us the process of cyanotype with a step-by-step guide on how she creates beautiful pieces of art using foliage and found objects. Utilizing a mixture of chemicals, the action of light and a mastery of techniques, let’s explore the process of creating inspiring silhouettes! This workshop includes Emily’s technique in a video tutorial and an accompanying box of tools and materials (including Emily’s preferred 640gsm thick cotton paper, the tools & chemicals to process cyanotype art (through a small business collaboration with a US-based photo studio).
Learn more about the details of this project on Emily’s Featured Maker Page.
Cyanotype is a photographic printing process that dates back to the mid-1800s that was frequently used by engineers as an effective process to produce copies of drawings (or blueprints). The process uses two chemicals: ammonium ferric citrate and potassium ferricyanide. In this workshop we are using hot pressed watercolor paper that is sturdy enough to withstand a coating of these chemicals (frequently referred to as Chemical A + Chemical B) as well as a water bath before the finished print is produced.
This workshop includes:
- A detailed, digital workshop on the techniques and execution of Cyanotype art by Emily Jeffords
- A live & recorded Maker Chat Q&A with our artist
- Tools and materials from artisan suppliers, curated for you, by Emily
