More Than Blue: A Cyanotype Workshop with Kathleen Warren

Workshop Date: Sunday, November 6, 10am-1pm
Registration Deadline: November 5 (see pricing details for early registration)

This 3-hour workshop taught by M. Kathleen Warren is a sequel to the Images in Blue cyanotype printing workshop (held on Saturday, November 5th). Please only register for this workshop if you are also registering for the Images in Blue workshop.

Using the blue-and-white prints from the previous workshop, students will explore the versatility of cyanotype prints and of the process itself. We will discuss the many creative possibilities then use the prints to apply some of these. Some prints will be bleached, then the entire print toned with natural substances such as coffee or black tea. Students will also get to experiment with selectively toning only parts of the print, including different natural substances used on different areas, and to explore subtle use of watercolor paints on selected areas. We will discuss multiple layer printing, in which a second layer of cyanotype chemical is coated onto a dry cyanotype print and re-exposed and use multiple layers to produce duotone prints. Since the workshop will produce archival prints suitable for display, we will further explore ways to present the dry cyanotype prints. For this workshop, aprons (supplied by the student) are strongly recommended, and gloves will be provided to prevent unintentional staining of skin

Tuition (by 10/28): $60 current museum members / $67 future members
Tuition (after 10/28): $70 current museum members /$78 future members

About the Instructor

Creativity has been part of Kathleen’s life from as early as she can remember. In her late teens, she fell in love with photography, and over the years she learned to use the tools of light, composition, and photo-manipulation to express herself. During a career teaching biological sciences in higher education, she also earned her A.S. degree in photography at Daytona State College. She has continued to create images with personal meaning and is currently working with alternative processing and mixed media encaustic methods that unite her photographic vision with hand-created art techniques.  She has been active in promoting the arts: helping found a co-op art gallery in Flagler County in the early 2000’s, serving as president of the Photography Club of Flagler County, and currently serving as vice-president of the Florida Women’s Arts Association. As a retired educator, she takes great joy in teaching and sharing her passion for photography and art. Currently, you can find her award-winning work displayed at Galerie Elan in Daytona Beach, FL, and at Art Spotlight in Ormond Beach, FL, as well as in monthly shows at venues including the St. Augustine Art Association and Marion Cultural Council galleries.
