Join us for a cyanotype demo/workshop with our Fall 2020 Artist-In-Residence Caroline Roberts. Learn to make photographs without a camera, using the water-based cyanotype process and sunshine! We will learn about using objects, transparencies, and digital negatives to create images. 

A materials list (with suggested sources) will be provided before the workshop for those who want to work alongside (sunshine permitting!) 

Materials & supplies:

• Cyanotype solutions A&B:
  Photographer’s Formulary http://stores.photoformulary.com/cyanotypes-liquid-original/ (also available at Adorama and B&H for the same price)
  or Jacquard https://www.amazon.com/Jacquard-JCY1100-Cyanotype-Set/dp/B010MN312S/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=cyanotype&qid=1619561355&sr=8-3 – also often available in art supply stores!
  Paper sturdy enough to stand up to soaking in water. Good quality cotton rag papers work well in general.
• Or:
  Sunprint paper – https://www.amazon.com/SunPrint-07990001235-Paper-Kit/dp/B073C9QYDG/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=sunprint&qid=1619561620&sr=8-3 – again also available in art/craft supply stores!
• Hake or other wide, soft brush (watercolor brushes work well!)
• A board and sheet of glass/plexiglass larger than your paper (NB: be careful that the glass/plexi do not have a UV filter coating!)
• Transparencies, objects, plants for creating prints. Feathers, fabrics and lace work really well! Flat objects make the sharpest outlines but 3D objects will cast interesting shadows in bright sunlight.
• A container larger than your paper that you can fill with water (shallow is preferable but deep will work)
• Somewhere to lay your pieces to dry – can be as simple as kitchen towel or cloths on a table
• Kitchen towel to mop up spills and messes! Also useful to put under your paper to catch drips as you coat!
