Blue is the world’s favorite color. Learn how to make lovely blueprints using this historic analog photo process and bind the prints into a book using a drum leaf method of book binding. In this workshop, we will meet for three days, once at midday along the ocean shore, when the sun is the strongest for best exposure times, for “plein air” cyanotype printing. We will gather seaweed and create several compositions. We will identify seaweed and make notes of the weather and location. In the classroom sessions, we will learn techniques of this alternative photo process. In the final session we will bind together five prints using a drum leaf binding.
Other things to note: For the beach classes, bring something to keep you hydrated. Wear shoes or sandals suitable for walking in the sand and going in the water if you want to use the ocean in your print.
MATERIALS: The materials fee includes a kit containing all class materials. Students are asked to bring some items of their choice: markers; white pens (white Uni-ball is a brand that works well on cyanotype); pencils, especially white; various objects that are fairly flat, such as keys, buttons, lace, botanicals, plant leaves, flowers, tools, photo negatives, and anything that is translucent for printing.
Max students: 8
