Class Description

Description

Discover the rich history and creative possibilities of cyanotype printing in this engaging six-week online course led by accomplished artist Rebecca Hackemann. This course welcomes students of all skill levels to explore and master this historic photographic printing process, learning to create stunning, one-of-a-kind prints from the comfort of home.

Cyanotype is a beautifully simple yet historically significant photographic printing technique that produces striking blue-toned images. Throughout this course, you will explore cyanotype's fascinating origins, trace its evolution through art history, and examine how contemporary artists continue to use this process as a catalyst for creative innovation and fresh artistic perspectives. Through twice-weekly sessions conducted online, you will develop comprehensive skills in creating memorable cyanotype prints directly from your home studio.

The course explores both traditional wet cyanotypes and experimental dry cyanotype techniques. You will experiment with printing on alternative surfaces, including fabric and specialty cotton papers, and discover advanced toning methods using everyday pantry items such as coffee, tea, and other natural materials. The course also encourages you to extend your creative practice through mixed media techniques, incorporating sewing, drawing, and collage elements to create layered, multidimensional artworks.

This class balances artistic exploration with safe, practical instruction appropriate for working with light-sensitive chemistry in a home environment. A comprehensive materials list will be provided in advance, and students should budget approximately $35-$100 for supplemental materials. A safety waiver ensures responsible handling of cyanotype chemistry. Whether you are beginning your artistic journey or have substantial making experience, you will enjoy experimenting with objects, photographic negatives, and alternative photographic methods to produce beautiful, unique works of art.

Join us on this creative exploration of how art, chemistry, and history combine to create distinctive, visually striking imagery.
