Aquatint \u2022 Etching \u2022 Intaglio<\/summary>\n

The great engraver Albrecht D\u00fcrer already produced some masterpieces of etching. With the development of a suitable copper base, the line etching technique was perfected. No less a figure than Rembrandt, the “magician of etching”, brought this discipline to perfection. New techniques developed, such as aquatint etching, which reached its peak with Goya. To this day, these processes of the great masters have lost none of their fascination. Once you have conquered the high art of the various techniques of etching, you will remain addicted to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cyanotype \u2022 analog photographic process<\/summary>\n
\"\"
A cyanotype from Anna Atkin’s book “British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions” from 1843<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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 paper. In a relatively short time, an \u00bbimpression\u00ab of the exposed original, colored in shades of blue is obtained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cyanotype
Cyanotype prints in water bath after exposure<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Participants will be introduced to the technique of cyanotype. In the workshop, a light-sensitive liquid is first applied to a flat material. During this process, an important design decision is already made. Therefore, Day 1 is dedicated to working out the subject, applying the liquid and initial exposure tests. On the second day of the workshop, an edition can be printed and worked with various experiments. It is possible to work up to the format Din A3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 1, 13.00\u201318.00 \u2013 Introduction, development of an idea, preparation of the paper \/ material to be exposed, development of the motif, exposure bracketing, possibilities of correction<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 2, 1:00 p.m. \u2013 6:00 p.m. \u2013 Further work on the motifs, exposure, signing of test and edition prints<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Material: suitable paper and the other materials needed will be provided. You are welcome to experiment with materials you bring along. If you wish to expose digital motifs, computers, printers and foils up to A3 size are available to create the negative. This way you can also experiment with font etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
