Cyanotype
What is Cyanotype?
A cyanotype is a photo-based printing process that produces a lovely cyan-blue print when paper, coated with light sensitive liquid is exposed to ultraviolet light.
Combined use of ferric ammonium citrate, potassium, together with UV light and an artists drawing or stencil, all coalesce to make the resulting image.
This course is suitable for the complete beginner or for the printmaker who wishes to explore cyanotypes. It is a wonderfully flexible, simple and beautiful print process! This is a fun class and a great process to begin exploring the role of UV light in printmaking.

What to bring?
BPW will provide all printing supplies, film positives, inks, aprons and safety gear and a limited supply of paper but we advise you to BYO paper for your final prints or you can purchase our in-house stock from the studio. (Coloured and patterned paper can produce great results also). Some old cloth rags always come in handy too.
What to wear?
Dress up or dress down but we advise against wearing your Sunday best! Inks spatter and fingers are clumsy – you get the picture! Limited number of Participants (6 maximum per course) so get in early folks!
