Learn the Cyanotype printing process with Wendy Currie using Montsalvat as your inspiration!
Wendy will show you how to make images from negatives, and photograms from objects such as leaves, lace, feathers, mesh and many more.
This workshop is an engaging hands-on experience, involving the participant from the choice and preparation of paper, until the moment the image is revealed. Wendy will also show you how to achieve a subtle variety of shades with toning chemicals and the recent development of “wet” cyanotypes.
Please bring along at least 5 sheets of acid free watercolour paper cut to approximately 8”x 6” /20 cm x 15 cms. All chemicals, contact frames, brushes etc. will be provided.
Please bring your own lunch and a mug for tea/coffee (supplied).

In 1991 Wendy Currie completed her Graduate Diploma specialising in 19th Century photographic printing processes, and has been fascinated by them ever since. Cyanotype was one of the earliest processes in the development of photography, but remains a satisfying creative medium for modern photographic artists.
