The cyanotype process was invented in 1842, intended for reproducing mathematical tables and technical drawings, like blueprints.  The cyanotype process is a multi step process that requires UV Light >>> A piece of paper is pre-coated with a UV photosensitive solution and dried in a dark space.  Then using a collection of items to block out the UV Rays, the composition is placed under a sheet of glass and exposed to the sun. After exposure, the paper is rinsed off with water and hung to dry. This leaves the negative image and a saturated blue background.  Items such as fabric, paper and wood can be coated in cyanotype solution. 

Students are encouraged to bring a few items that they would like to print on such as light color/ white clothing, tote bags, quilt fabric etc. as well as items to create images- like pressed plants, lace, paper cut out, drawings or prints on transparencies, uniquely shaped items like keys, wire jewelry etc.). Many items and supplies will be available to experiment with.
