Cyanotype: A Kinship Skill Share

Join us via Zoom Wednesday, August 20th, 7 pm EDT

While the late summer sun is still blessing us with an abundance of ultraviolet light, we will be exploring cyanotype printing. Cyanotype is a photographic process that uses a light-sensitive solution made from ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide to create striking cyan-blue prints. This solution is applied to paper or fabric, and then objects or negatives are placed on top and explosed to ultraviolet light, typically from the sun. While wonderfully simple, cyanotype can be used in astounding ways.

This week we will walk through the basics of cyanotype printing, share work from photographers who are creating inspiring cyanotype images, and share links and resources to get you started.

If your creative process already includes cyanotypes, please share them with us by placing them in this folder so that we can share them with out Kinship community on Wednesday. Make sure to include your name in the file name of any images you share.
