Intro to Cyanotype
Bellows Falls Senior Center Thursdays, 12:30-2:30 April 3- May 29, no April 17 Instructor Evie Lovett An accessible, step-by-step class in making photographs using the centuries-old cyanotype method. Learn how to make photographs with everyday objects, the light of the sun, and water! With cyanotype photography, we make photographs by placing objects you choose on specially coated light-sensitive paper, exposing to the light of the sun, and developing the image in water. The result is a captivating image in shades of dark blue to white. Cyanotype, dating from 1840, is one of photography's earliest methods. We are still using the same methods almost 200 years later. This in-person learning opportunity will provide participants with clear instruction, demonstrations and weekly challenges in a connected, supportive community of learners. No experience necessary. All invited. All supplies provided. |
