Online Cyanotype Workshops

Breaking the Rules: Creative Cyanotype Explorations

6 hours over 3 weekend sessions 

Sessions are recorded and available to participants for several months after the workshop. I provide a password-protected participants page that includes the video recordings, along with online access to the presentation slides and digital negative template. If you cannot make a session, you will be able to watch on your own time and follow up with questions or comments. 

During the workshop, there will be opportunities for sharing and feedback on the cyanotypes you make. The sessions will include discussions and examples of the following:

- Materials and getting started with the cyanotype process
- Coating paper and fabric
- Creative/alternative materials
- Photograms
- Basic digital negatives
- Toning & other color manipulations
- Retouching & Finishing

Materials List: this page includes links to products and ideas discussed in the workshop.

​​Digital Negative Classes

These online classes cover how to make a digital negative with curves. This is for beginners or those interested in using an adjustment curve for alternative photographic process negatives. I will walk you through each step needed to make a digital negative.

 

Using this method, you can make negatives for Cyanotype, VanDyke Brown, Gum Bichromate, Platinum/Palladium, and potentially other processes. Both of these workshops are meant for printing digital negatives using an inkjet printer on transparency material such as Pictorico, Fixxons, or Artista (links and more info here).

There are two versions of this workshop using different platforms:

Photoshop: For this workshop, I will provide a Photoshop file with layers to be used as a template. I designed this system to be easily used and to provide some flexibility to make adjustments. During the live session, I will go through each step for using the template in Adobe Photoshop.

Lightroom: This workshop covers a workflow that I have recently developed using Lightroom Classic. I will provide curves as Lightroom presets that can be added in Adobe Lightroom Classic.

These sessions will be recorded and made available to you here (on a password-protected participants page) for three months afterward.
