Cyanotype is an early photographic process which produces a cyan-coloured print. It was used by Anna Atkins to illustrate the first book with photographic images. The process was adopted by engineers and architects as a way of producing copies of drawings – hence the term ‘blueprint’.

You will use both a UV exposure unit and sunlight (weather permitting). Course structure • Explanation of the technique with examples • Coating paper with solution • Creating images using found objects and photographs and drawings on acetate • How to do stepped timing to work out exposure times • Exposing with UV exposure unit • Exposing with daylight • Washing out the image Pre-course information Any image preparation notes will be sent prior to the course date.
