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

Pre-requisites: This workshop builds on our “Cyanotype photograms” workshop, going deeper into some experimental aspects of cyanotype printing. We recommend that you have attended either our workshop or a similar one elsewhere before joining us!
