Join experimental photographer, Rebecca Ustrell for an introductory course on the Cyanotype process.
The cyanotype is a slow-reacting, economical photographic printing formulation. It produces a monochrome, blue colored print, often used for art, and for reprography in the form of blueprints.
Participants will learn the history, chemistry and hands-on practical skills behind one of the oldest photography techniques still used today. At the end of the course, you’ll leave with your own Cyanotype prints and the skills to do this on your own.
All levels of experience are welcome. No prior knowledge is necessary. All materials provided.
Cyanotype Essentials, an Introduction to the Cyanotype Process with Rebecca Ustrell was made possible in part through the generous support of Arts Connection – The Arts Council of San Bernardino County (AC). Through AC's Artist Microgrant Program, San Bernardino County artists receive direct funding to develop creative projects that uplift community stories, spark cultural connection, and inspire artistic innovation. This program reflects AC’s mission to strengthen the creative workforce, champion arts education, and expand access to arts and culture across San Bernardino County.
