On 20 June, we will be making cyanotypes, better known as blueprints. Cyanotype photography is a camera-less technique that involves laying an object on paper coated with a solution of iron salts and exposing it to UV light to create white and blue images.

For this workshop, Henri Blommers will bring all the necessary materials. For printing, he will collect and bring some plants, but you are free to bring your own flat (!) objects for printing as well, such as feathers, keys, or delicate plants. Please bring a plastic bag to transport your damp prints after the workshop.
