Please contact me about scheduling a cyanotype workshop for a student group, friend group, or other demonstration. Cyanotype is a simple process but can be easily modified to conform to any style you like, including digital photography and drawing. Workshops can be simple photograms (as pictured) or can be more in depth with multiple day development of digital negatives, concept development, and post exposure processing.

Student work pictured above is made by placing plants or negatives over sensitized paper, exposing in the sun, and washing in water. Darker colors are achieved by toning (below).
