Cyanotype: An Alternative Photography Immersion with Catherine Cross

Friday, May 22, 2026 | 12:00 - 3:00pm

Cyanotype is one of the oldest photographic printing processes; made by treating a surface like paper or cloth and then exposing it to UV light. It produces a beautiful, cyan-blue print and can be used to capture botanical specimens or reproduce drawings, like blueprints.

In this three-hour workshop expect to learn all of the techniques to leave confident about supplies and how to create cyanotypes at home. The workshop provides the opportunity to learn about the solutions and products used for capturing images in different colors, toning, creating negatives from your images, experiment with printing on different papers, fabrics and non-traditional materials. Composition, overlays, lettering, drawing, digital and vintage negatives, plants and fiber materials, light measure, and developing will also be discussed. Opportunities are provided for working large and small.

Registration closes when workshop is full. Seats are limited!
