Cyanotype Workshop

  • Richmond Nature Park 11851 Westminster Highway Richmond, BC, V6X 1B4 Canada (map)

The final workshop will feature my favorite camera-less printing process, cyanotypes.
Pre-treated with the UV solution, participants will be invited to make up to 2 cyanotype compositions from subject matter supplied.

As these camera-less processes all render uncontrolled results, I invite participants to approach art-making in an intuitive way, without preconceived results. Surrendering is a paralleled theme and one I can speak closely to in my visual art practice. I will encourage the group to create at least one composition within this context, as well as I will bring my archive of pressed botanical specimens (foraged from the park in 2021 with a collection permit), for remaining prints if individuals wish to create traditional cyanotype prints.

During the hour-long exposure, we will deconstruct the session and dive into the social engagement methodologies.

The wash baths will finish the exposures, and each will be dried on a line with clothes pegs. Again, prints will be scanned onsite after drying and invited for inclusion in the public legacy artwork.

Please pack a lunch for this workshop.
