Cyanotype is a slow reacting, photographic printing formula that produces a monochrome, blue-colored print. Discovered in 1842 by Sir John Herschel, it was one of the earliest photographic techniques. It was an inexpensive method for reproducing photographs, documents, maps, and impressions of biological specimens in the fields.

Cyanotype print is a photogram - made by arranging objects on sensitized paper treated with the cyanotype chemical and exposed to UV light (Sunlight or UV lights).

For this workshop we will be using home ingredients to create our own cyanotype mixture to create our own prints.
