WORKSHOP:ROSE CEFALU - CYANOTYPE Photography

CYANOTYPE Photography Workshop with Rose Cefalu

January 8, 9:30 am - 3:30pm

Join Joshua Tree based photographer & artist Rose Cefalu for ½ day of experimental printmaking, known as Cyanotype printing. You will learn about the history of the process along with hands on work producing fine art prints. You’re images will be enlarged to 8 x 10 negatives and will be contacted printed, harnessing the Sun’s UV light and developed in water. You will also do the same process as a photogram, where the image is made without a camera by placing objects directly onto the surface of the light-sensitive cyanotype paper and then exposing it to light. The usual result is a negative shadow image that shows variations in tone that depends upon the transparency of the objects used.

Sharing her wealth of knowledge, Rose will start each morning with a brief overview of the process followed by paper coating and a walk in a private location in search of the objects and plant flora students can use in later in the day for photograms. Students will explore the power of image making using this 20th century photograph technique in conventional and unconventional ways. No prior photography experience is needed, all levels welcome.

$120 plus $10 supply fee
