Advanced Cyanotype: Building on Blue with Constantinos Loumakis
Thursday, December 10
11am – 1pm
Price:
$250
Lab Fee:
$80 paid directly to teacher upon the start of class
Note: Students must have completed Cyanotype Foundations: Capturing Blue with Constantinos Loumakis (Found Here) before participating in this workshop.
This workshop builds on students understanding and mastery of Cyanotype; the process of coating paper in specialized chemicals that react with UV light to produce a static image. Class will pair a short demonstration with hands-on lab time, so students each have ample printing time. We will delve into advanced layering techniques, chemical processes, and how to create a gallery quality piece.Â
Students will leave with their own one-of-a-kind works of art, created with light, patience and imagination.Â
