Explore the fascinating cyanotype process with a two-day workshop designed for photographers of skill all levels. This workshop will guide you through the historical and artistic cyanotype printing process that was pioneered by Sir John Herschel in 1842. The cyanotype is a photographic printing process that produces stunning blue prints using basic chemicals and the ultra violet rays from the sun.
By the end of the workshop, participants will have created their own unique cyanotype prints.
Optional but recommended, the participants will also have examples of work that can be submitted to the “alternative photography.com” "World Cyanotype Day“ online community event 9/28/2024.

A photographer and photo educator originally from Colorado, Jon P. Manchester brings 30 years of traditional and digital photography experience to the school. His understanding of fine art photography, technical image processing and post-processing has made him a valuable student resource.
