Cyanotype Bookmarks & More

Hands-on Cyanotype Bookmarks & More Class – art class in the Book Arts studio! Cyanotype is an antique photographic printing process that makes use of naturally occurring ultraviolet light to produce distinctive Prussian blue monochromatic prints. The process, originally discovered in the early 1800s and perfected by the early pioneers of 19th century photography, was a precursor to the modern photographic process, and provided the foundation that was used to develop camera technology. Cyanotype can be done anywhere a steady supply of light can be found, rather than traditional photography requiring a darkroom environment, and provides the basis for the modern “blueprint,” owing to its original use in the development of maps and architectural drawings. In this class we’ll work with the photosensitive chemicals required to prepare various paper substrates and prepared sheets. Pressed flowers and a variety of other organic materials will be provided to create botanical-based compositions, or students are welcome to bring their own elements*. The resultant prints can be used to create original matted works, elements of collage or bookmarks for the literary art lover. *Elements must be flat or able to be flattened under pressure. If bringing botanical materials, they should be dried ahead of time. Things to note:• Makers of all skill levels are welcome. This class is suitable for ages teen+.• All necessary tools to participate are provided. Any questions about the class please email [email protected] REGISTER HERE FOR THE CLASSFill out my LGL Form!
