With Silvi Glattauer

Wed 20 January 2021
9.30 am - 4.00 pm

Price: $250– including all materials

6 max participants

This 1 day (Wed) workshop will teach you the basic techniques for making Cyanotype prints using found objects and / or your own photographs.

The Cyanotype process is a historical photographic process that produces a deep blue / cyan print. This workshop will cover the basics for making a print in a simple manner so that you can re-create the technique at home.

We will also cover toning techniques that will shift the tones of your print from deep blue to purples and sepia tones.

The Cyanotype was originally Invented by Sir John Herschel in 1841 and then adopted by Anna Atkins in her photograms of plants and seaweed for her books on botany (1843–55).

The Prussian Blue print is made using a sensitising solution of iron salts, that when exposed to natural or sunlight, are reduced to their ferrous state, producing a high contrast blue image when oxidised. Oxidation is hastened by immersion in running water, which also washes away the unused iron salts.

Silvi Glattauer is a professional practicing photographer with a particular interest in non-silver alternative processes. Specialising in the photogravure process using non-toxic photopolymer plates, she finds that the combination of traditional printmaking with photographic images gives her work an added dimension that further develops the use of photography in fine art practice. Glattauer also has a background in the adult education sector with extensive experience in co-ordinating and running workshops. Alongside running workshops at The Baldessin Press for the past 20 years, she has taught photographic fine art printmaking at RMIT and Melbourne Polytechnic in Melbourne.

You are advised to book early to avoid disappointment. This workshop will take a maximum of 6 people.
