Come along and attend this FREE workshop of Cyanotyping and photo montage. This event is a small participant based workshop.
A cyanotype is a printing formulation sensitive to ultraviolet light. It produces a cyan-blue print. The cyanotype is a Victorian based photographic process.
This workshop will allow you to experiment with objects and acetates to produce beautiful cyan blue prints on a multitude of substrates.
Think of a theme or subject you’d like to focus when creating your cyanotype. It can be about anything (within reason and decency!)
Please bring with you objects that can be placed on top of a A4 sized sheet of paper. Feathers, leaves, cut out shapes work well. Solid object will be seen as a definite solid shape, whereas translucent objects will be seen as a ghostly image.
The artist will have a selection of objects that can be used as well, so if you don’t have anything to bring, please don’t worry as we have plenty.
In preparation you may want to watch this Youtube video on how cyanotypes came to be
The photo montage technique is a work of art in which pieces of paper, photographs, fabric, typography and ephemera are arranged and stuck down onto a supporting substrate. This can also include stitching and weaving using photographic images. This art form was made popular by such artists as Alexander Rodchenko, Raoul Hausmann and Richard Hamilton.
Think of a theme or subject you’d like to focus when creating your photo montage. It can be about anything (within reason and decency!)
Please bring with you small objects, photographs, prints, newspapers, magazines, coloured paper/card, handmade paper, books, fabric, paint, threads (the list goes on and on….!) that you think will aid your theme.
You’ll be working on roughly A3 sized paper.
The artist will have a selection of paper and fabric-based materials to use as well, so if you don’t have anything to bring, please don’t worry.
