Introduction to Cyanotype - printing without a darkroom. London, Euston 3-5pm £25

Printing your own analogue photographs and images without a darkroom – Cyanotype taster session

Saturday 21 November, 3pm-5pm, Old Diorama Makeshop, NW1 2LY (London Euston)

In the 1840s, long before printers, digital cameras or darkrooms, people used the UV light of the sun, objects and images captured as negatives on glass, to make beautiful and distinctive ‘blueprints’ using an early printing process called cyanotype.. The process is low cost, ecofriendly - an easy-to-use printing method, still widely used today by photographers and artists.

During this 2 hour, informal, easy-going and relaxed taster session you will:

·      Hear about and see a demonstration of the cyanotype process

·      Spend at least an hour making your own cyanotype prints and watch the magic of your print appearing in the development tray (you can expect to make at least 3 prints during the session)

·      Receive all the information you need to explore and make your own cyanotype prints at home

·      The workshop host, Jo, will be on hand to answer questions and support you to make the most of your printing experience

 

No special skills or experience required, all materials provided. Just bring yourself and enjoy experimenting with a slow and mindful historical photographic printing process. Your clothes might get splashed with water so don’t wear your favourite jumper!
