Sugar Maples Center for Creative Arts

All levels welcome

We will learn how to make cyanotypes directly from nature and objects using the beautiful yet simple 19th century printing process. Plants and objects are placed directly on paper that has been coated with the cyanotype solution and is then exposed by sunlight and simply developed in water. Students will use pre-coated paper and learn how to hand coat fine art paper to achieve exquisite prints. The process is fun, organic, and open to all levels. No previous photo experience is required.

Bryan Whitney is a fine art photographer in New York who specializes in alternative techniques from x-rays to lens-free imaging and cyanotype printing. He has exhibited widely and teaches at the International Center of Photography, Penumbra and other locations.
