Join visual artist Lisa Shepherd in an introduction to the historic alternative photographic process of cyanotype printing which is a form of camera-less photography. After a quick introduction to the history of cyanotypes and how they are created, you will be shown how to safely mix and coat paper and then expose your design with ultraviolet light to produce beautiful Prussian blue-coloured artworks. You will be guided in design composition and shown how to create visually pleasing artwork step-by-step. You'll learn all aspects of the process including making photograms from pressed flowers and plant cuttings as well as using feathers, lace, doilies, stencils and digital negatives. Be thrilled when you expose your image to reveal beautiful images, it never fails to delight.
