Photography as Sculpture: Cyanotype Printing on Paper, Textiles and Clay

Cyanotype offers photographers the means to create images not limited to the traditional print on the wall. When used on organic materials, such as clay, paper, or cloth, the process allows artists to transform handcrafted objects into three-dimensional photographs. In this hands-on course, students experiment with swatches of cloth and pre-fired clay tiles, and they create a cyanotype clay sculpture. We also cover the basics of cyanotype and printing on nontraditional materials, including making tests and determining the proper exposure time for final prints. Participants learn how to continue printing cyanotypes and working with alternative printing materials on their own.
