Introduction to Cyanotype

with Sheila Startup

Next session: April 12th, 2025

$65 More Info

We are thrilled to offer our first workshop in Cyanotype in 2025.  Cyanotype is a type of photography that requires no camera. Instead, a UV light reactive solution covers paper and the image is formed from exposure to sunlight (or UV light when no sun).  Cyanotype is defined by the distinctive blue and areas of pure white and shadow.  Sheila Startup of Dancing Light Studio in Philadelphia will teach this class.  She has mastered the art of cyanotype through studies at Tyler School of Art (in Philadelphia) and Maine Media.  No experience necessary.
