In this class, you’ll learn the magical, sun-powered process of cyanotype printing, a fascinating art form that transforms flowers, plants and found materials into vivid blueprints. Perfect for all skill levels, cyanotype invites you to play with light, shadow, and composition while exploring one of the oldest photographic techniques in the world.
Join us and bring your ideas to life through the timeless art of intaglio printing!
What You’ll Learn:
– **Introduction to Cyanotype**: Learn about the process of making stunning sun prints.
– **Hands-On Technique**: Learn how to handle light sensitive paper and create stunning botanical prints using natural materials like leaves, flowers, found objects, and more.
– **Exploring Creative Possibilities**: Experiment with layering, transparencies, and textures to make unique compositions.
The cyanotype process is playful, hands-on, and full of surprises, each print a little blue magic revealed by the sun! At the end of the workshop you will have a series of striking, handmade prints and a new appreciation for the alchemy of light and nature.
Weather Note:
Whenever the sun graces us, we’ll take full advantage of it! If weather permits, this class will be held outdoors in the beautiful Merrion Square Park, an inspiring setting for working with light and nature. However, as we all know, Irish weather can be unpredictable, so please note that the location may shift indoors if needed. Either way, the magic of cyanotype will shine through.
