Cyanotype Workshop
კურსის შესახებ
Cyanotype is one of the earliest photographic printing techniques, using paper coated with iron salts and exposed to sunlight. Often referred to as “sun printing,” it captures the silhouettes or shapes of objects placed on the paper, producing unique blue-toned prints.
No two prints are ever the same - even when using identical compositions- making cyanotype a celebrated form of monoprinting. The process itself is almost magical: with simple objects and natural light, participants will witness a transformation that feels both spontaneous and alchemical.
Originally invented for photographic reproduction, today cyanotype is widely used in artistic practices for its unpredictability, tactile quality, and poetic aesthetic.
