Cyanotype: Memories in blue
***BOOKING NOW CLOSED*** SATURDAY 4th APRIL 10am - 1pm MEMORIES IN BLUE Cyanotype is one of the most beautiful alternative photographic processes, producing evocative images in vivid blues and whites, by exposing UV sensitive paper to UV light. In this workshop, we will bring together the method of cyanotype as a photographic process with the concept of capturing memories, by making cyanotype prints using your own photographs, printed onto acetate to create a digital negative. You may wish to combine your digital negatives with objects associated with them – for example lace, flowers, cutouts or small objects that hold meaning for you. This is a chance to learn cyanotype techniques, and create some beautiful photograph-based imagery at the same time. You will: • Mix cyanotype chemicals and coat your paper • Plan the layouts of your digital negatives and objects • Expose your cyanotype prints using the power of the sun (or uv lights if the weather is poor) • Repeat to create a set of prints based on the memories captured in your photos What you'll take away: • A set of your own unique cyanotype prints • The knowledge and skills to continue making cyanotype prints at home Suitable for: All skill levels. This workshop is suitable for newcomers to cyanotype, or for those with some experience who would like to explore a new aspect of this magical process. NOTE: IF YOU BOOK BOTH this, and the afternoon's 'Tint and tone' workshop, you will be able to tone some of your digital photo exposures, allowing for more exploration. IMPORTANT: THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING PHOTOS TO BE MADE INTO DIGITAL NEGATIVES HAS PASSED. You may still book this workshop, but you will be using provided imagery, NOT your own photos. All other materials are supplied, however you may bring objects to experiment with if you wish, for example; buttons, lace, feathers, flowers. Your tutor: Emily Rose Parris is a Kent-based photographer and arts educator. Read more on our tutors page. Tea and coffee is provided, and you are welcome to use our small kitchen. There is a shop a short walk away, and parking at the weekend is easily available just outside. We're on the first floor, with no lift.
