Cyanotype Printmaking with Raimond De Weerdt
June 17, 2018, 10am - 4pmThe cyanotype is a photographic contact printing process invented by the English scientist and astronomer Sir John Herschel in 1842. Also known as shadowgraphs or blue-prints, this simple printing process produces photographic images that are Cyan blue. Without any photographic knowledge or specialist equipment, it is possible to create beautiful images with the cyanotype process. Images can be printed on a range of surfaces such as fine art papers, silk and cloth. Cyanotypes can be used to create fine art prints, books, hand made cards and wall hangings. Cyanotype prints are archival and will last for many decades. The Cyanotype prints can be use as a starting point to be printed, painted or drawn over to create works of multiple media. |
