Description

Join us in our brand new BAC Darkroom, created by Saja Montague. Learn the exciting process of creating a cyanotype photogram! What it's all about: 🔵 💡 A cyanotype is a photographic printing process that produces a cyan-blue print. Engineers used the process well into the 20th century as a simple and low-cost process to produce copies of drawings, referred to as blueprints. The process uses two chemicals: ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide. Students will learn basic cyanotype printing techniques for the printing of photo-grams. Students will learn a short history of cyanotypes, how paper and fabric are coated, and to use objects from nature and around the house to make photo-gram prints. Materials List:All materials will be provided; however it is optional for students to bring from home or gather from nature their own objects to create their photograms with.
