9.5.26 Cyanotype Photograms with Rosalba Breazeale

Saturday, September 5th - 10:00am to 1:00pm

Cyanotype photograms are a cameraless technique that involves laying objects on paper or fabric coated with a solution of iron salts before exposing it to UV light. These are then washed with water to create stunning Prussian blue and white images. During this 3-hour workshop, you will create several cyanotype prints utilizing recycled plant-based fabrics and silk. No prior experience is necessary. Please wear clothes you don’t mind getting stained!

Cost is $90 and includes $20 in materials - scoured cotton, linen, and silk ranging in size from 6in x 6in to 8in x 8in for printing on, cyanotype solution, foraged plant material, gloves & use of brushes, clip frames, clamps, and misc. objects for making images with. Handouts will include instructions, a list of artists who work with the medium for inspiration, and resources so that you may continue creating cyanotypes after the workshop.

If you would like to bring your own objects to work with, plant material such as leaves, seaweed and flowers, translucent 2D objects such as thin fabric, lace, or glass work well. You may bring three-dimensional objects as well, but they will not render a sharp silhouette in the same way. Again, don’t bring anything you don’t want to get stained. If foraging, please use respectful foraging techniques and only collect plants you are familiar with.
