The cyanotype was developed in the early 1840’s when photographic processes were still evolving. Cyanotype is a popular and inexpensive method of producing prints - mostly for natural materials but also using anything that will ‘block the light’. Results are often a surprise, never really knowing what you will get but great fun finding out! You will learn to make a number of prints from found and natural objects.
