SUMMARY:Exploring Experimental Cyanotypes
DESCRIPTION:This is an opportunity to play and experiment\, to push cyanoty
 pe photograms beyond the traditional\nblue and white. If you enjoy the une
 xpected and embrace the uncontrollable this is the workshop for\nyou.\n\nC
 yanotype (or sun printing) is an historic photographic process first inven
 ted in 1842. We will begin\nwith traditional cyanotypes which create white
  silhouettes on a solid blue background. Then we will\nstart adding water\
 , exposing the chemicals whilst they are still wet and introducing a few m
 ore\nhousehold ingredients changing the end results. Every print is unique
  and unrepeatable.\n\nWe will be using water\, white vinegar\, washing up 
 liquid\, bicarbonate of soda and a few other\ningredients to introduce dif
 ferent tones\, textures and colours to botanical cyanotypes. It can get\nm
 essy so wear old clothes or bring along an apron.\n\nWe’ll be using cyan
 otype chemicals painted onto watercolour paper and a selection of leaves\,
 \nflowers and ferns. All materials will be provided but if you have a favo
 urite plant\, flower or fern\nfrond bring it along and make your own truly
  unique photograms to frame and treasure.\nThis is not a technique for the
  perfectionist but the resulting prints are truly original.\n\nEveryone wi
 ll leave with at least one print to take home.\n\nAll materials an refresh
 ments included. Please take along a packed lunch.\n\n\n\nAbout Jill:\n\nJi

 e collects from her garden and surrounding countryside. Her images have be
 en exhibited internationally and many of her original cyanotype prints are
  in private collections around the world.\n\nJill completed a yearlong pro
 ject to create a body of work using plants and flowers collected from the 
 walled garden of Burton Agnes Hall\, a historic country house in East York
 shire\, UK. The completed work was exhibited in the Garden Gallery at the
