In this workshop we will explore cyanotypes, a Victorian process originated in the 1840s by John Hershel which produces a characteristically blue print. Anna Atkins was inspired by him and used this process to produce images of plants, ferns, and seaweed. 

The process is fairly straightforward, and you will learn how to mix chemicals to produce your own light sensitive paper. Objects are then placed on the paper and exposed to light to create a blue and white photographic image. 

The workshop will take place on the 21st of June. Starting at 1.00pm and ending at 3.00pm.
