In this workshop, you’ll dive into the world of cyanotypes, one of the oldest and most beautiful photographic printing techniques. Cyanotypes are known for their vibrant blue color and have a fascinating history dating back to the 19th century. You will have the opportunity to work with both traditional cyanotypes made from film negatives and create photograms—striking, cameraless images that involve placing objects directly on coated photographic paper before exposing them to light.
Photography is all about capturing light, and this workshop will show you just how creative you can get with light, everyday objects, and a bit of chemistry. Whether you’re completely new to photography or an experienced creative looking to explore new techniques, this workshop is a unique and fun way to make beautiful art with your own hands.

**What You’ll Learn:**
• **Coating Paper:**
Learn how to mix the photosensitive solution and properly apply it to paper. This coating technique is the foundation of creating a successful cyanotype, and our instructors will guide you through the entire process.
• **Creating Cyanotypes from Negatives:**
We’ll teach you how to create cyanotypes from negatives, capturing detailed images in rich shades of blue. If you don’t have your negatives, don’t worry—Berlin Photo Studio will provide digital negatives from files submitted by participants.
• **Exploring Photograms:**
Delve into the fascinating world of photograms, a cameraless photography method that produces unique images by placing objects directly onto the coated paper. This is where you can truly let your imagination run wild. From flowers and lace to pebbles and leaves, you’ll use various objects to create intricate and abstract designs. Feel free to bring your own objects from home to make your creations even more personal!

**Materials Provided:**

• **Photosensitive Solution and Paper:**
We will provide all the materials needed to coat the paper, including the photosensitive solution. You’ll learn how to mix it, apply it evenly, and prepare your paper for exposure.
• **Objects and Materials for Photograms:**
We’ll have a variety of materials available, such as flowers, leaves, lace, and other interesting objects for participants to use. However, we encourage attendees to bring any small items from home that they’d like to use—this personal touch makes each print unique.
• **Digital Negatives:**
For those who want to work with negatives but don’t have any large-format film, we offer the option to create digital negatives based on them **to** submit. This is a great way to add a personal touch to your cyanotype prints.

**Why Attend This Workshop?**

• **Hands-on Creativity:**
This workshop is all about getting your hands dirty—in the best way possible! You’ll get to mix, coat, and create, experiencing each step of the cyanotype process firsthand.
• **Learn by Doing:**
Cyanotype printing is a tactile, hands-on way to explore photography. Our experienced instructors will provide guidance, but you’ll be doing the work—learning as you go, experimenting, and creating your prints from start to finish.
• **Make and Take Home Your Art:**
Everything you create in the workshop is yours to keep. Imagine a collection of beautiful blue-toned prints—whether they’re photograms of delicate flowers or cyanotypes made from your own negatives—that you can frame, gift, or cherish.
• **Explore Creativity without Limits:**
Cyanotypes don’t require a camera, which makes them an incredibly freeing way to explore photography. All you need is light, objects, and a bit of curiosity to make something magical. The process is simple but full of creative possibilities, and each print you make will be one-of-a-kind.
