This Cyanotype workshop will introduce you to how to make these famous blue photographs. We will start with an overview of the process and its history and then learn to coat paper. Mix the chemicals, expose the prints. The process involves making contact prints with light-sensitive paper, either using photographic negatives or other materials. The process is easy to learn, ideal for experimentation, and can be done at home using daylight. 

What to bring

• Take along some photographs on a usb stick or email them in advance to printstudio@creativespark.ie
• You can also take along some objects to experiment with (eg. Flowers, leaves, lace, materials, etc.),
• Please bring along your own apron or wear some clothes you don’t mind getting inky!
• Please bring along your own facemask

While we do provide paper for printing, students are also encouraged to bring along their own papers or material they would like to experiment with
