Cyanotype snack course • Put your motif on a tote bag
Sat. 11th January, 1 pm — 6 pm
One of the world’s first female photographers – Anna Atkins – published the first book exclusively illustrated by photographs as early as 1843/44. For this purpose, she used a delightful technique of analog photography: the cyanotype. With the help of these, photo negatives as well as objects, materials, or stencils can be exposed to UV light and captured on various materials. In a relatively short time, an »impression« of the exposed original, colored in shades of blue is obtained.
Participants will be introduced to the technique of cyanotype. Motifs are developed that can range from photo negatives to collages and impressions of interesting objects. After initial tests on paper, the light-sensitive liquid is applied to tote bags, which are also exposed. You go home with some prints on paper and at least 3 tote bags with your motif.
Material: suitable paper, 3 tote bags per participant, as well as the necessary other materials will be provided. You are welcome to experiment with materials you bring along. If you want to expose digital motifs, we can print foils up to A3 size and create the negative. This way you can also experiment with font etc. Included in the price are a maximum of 5 negatives on DIN-A4 (laser printer) and 1 negative on DIN-A3 (inkjet printer on screen printing foil).
