Cyanotype. The Magic of Alternative Photography.

(2 Session workshop)

Fee:

185 Euro (all materials required for the workshop are included in the fee.)

This class is about discovery, light, and fun. The cyanotype process was one of the first forms of photography and can produce beautiful images. It is designed for you to be able to use the comfort of your own home. We will learn by making cyanotype print on paper step by step with a little history thrown in for good measure. You don´t need any prior experience with this technique.  

The beauty of this process is that the exposure of the photographic print is made through sunlight. With just a little preparation, Cyanotype’s are quick and fun and the effects can be just lovely. This class will be an exciting art-making experience. All materials will be provided in a kit, which I have made by myself, and you will have it to experiment with in between classes.

Student testimonials:

Sarah: “I really, really enjoyed the class, it’s opened my eyes to a whole new side of creative photography.”

Laura Hodgkinson: “This course teaches you about the kind of things you don’t find in textbooks, Leena opens the doors that evolve your own creativity. I wholly recommend it.”

Carla Daly: “I appreciated Leena’s straightforward style, humour and her passion for what she does. I no longer feel like the novice I was. I look forward to continuing on my photography journey and would recommend anybody to say “yes” and step a little outside of your comfort zone.”  

 

Session 2 

In this session, I will provide more guidance on exposure and development, as well as any Q&A for troubleshooting and there will be time to share your artwork with other participants. 

Upon completing this workshop, you will have gained the tools and knowledge to continue exploring this practice at home on your own. You will have a set of artworks you can frame for your own home or give to friends and family. You’ll have learned a new skill that is versatile to use at home and which you can develop further by experimenting with different objects.
