Course Description

Discover the art of cyanotype—a beautiful and simple photographic printing process that uses sunlight to create striking blue-and-white images. Also known as sun prints or blueprints, cyanotypes offer a hands-on way to reproduce images using natural materials and UV-sensitive chemistry. You’ll learn the basics of the cyanotype process, including how to mix and apply light-sensitive solutions to paper. Create prints using leaves, flowers, and other found objects gathered during guided nature walks.
