Instructor: Janet Bernardini

This is a one-day workshop for creating beautiful sun-prints using nature’s resources. Cyanotype is an historical method for recording images using a light sensitive solution on paper. Exposure to the sun is required to make the image appear. The process is known for its Prussian Blue that results from the process. (think blueprints) In this class we shake up the rules and incorporate a myriad of ingredients to affect the outcome of the image. Every image is one of a kind. All materials will be provided.
