Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this photography class:

Cyanotype is an ultraviolet light printing process that was first introduced in 1842 by Sir John Herschel. Initially intended for reproducing notes and diagrams, cyanotype has evolved into an art form of itself. Contemporary artist Brian Buckley creates cyanotype photograms with hand coated layers and subjects that can be found in the natural world. Breaking the rules of traditional cyanotype, Buckley layers coats of varying solutions and pigments for greater depth and tonality.

In this hands-on course, students will continue to work with pigment suspension to reveal various layers of light sensitivity. Students will experiment with bonding the chemistry to pigments when preparing small batches of two types of cyanotype chemistry. Coating methods and experimentation will be explored by utilizing various organic materials ranging from seaweed to fruits and vegetables to see how they interact with the layered chemistry. By the end of the workshop, students will learn to control results and hone a personal style. The main focus of the workshop is experimentation and learning from the materials' limitations.

Students are encouraged to come with ideas and objects that they would like to experiment with. Please note that objects with some tack work best to peel back layers of chemistry.

Tuition includes a $50 materials fee.
