Mad Scientist Cyanotypes
March 4 @ 11:00 am – 3:00 pm
Untitled, from the series “Photo|Chemistry” by Caroline Roberts
Learn to hack the cyanotype process like a mad scientist! We will be making abstract and/or photogram exposures on a variety of papers and making a variety of marks using chemistry.
Caroline will provide all paper and chemicals. This process twist does not work well with transparencies – any materials used for photograms will get solution on them. Wear clothes and shoes that can get messy!
Topics:
- Examples of ‘mad scientist’ cyanotypes
- Easily available, easy to handle substances that can be used with the cyanotype process
- What to avoid for safety!
- Papers that work well with this process twist
- Lots of time to experiment!
- Mixing up your own solutions from dry chemistry
Adults 18+
In case of rain, the backup date is: Sun 3/5/2023
