Class #98: Saturday, October 13, 10am-5pm
Tuition $112
Ben Venom
The cyantoype process was invented by Sir John Herschel in1842 and has changed very little. Cyanotype is a lens less photographic process using contact printing to produce Prussian blue toned prints. The light sensitive emulsion can be applied to any absorptive surface including: cotton, linen, silk, handmade paper, wood, and fine art papers. This workshop will introduce students to producing cyanotype prints from digital formatted negatives via Photoshop. Students may work from existing analogue or digital files. A variety of advanced Photoshop techniques including curves, filters, and contrast adjustments will be discussed. These images may then be hand colored, dyed, toned, or painted. No prerequisite. Photoshop skills are a plus but not required.
