Cyanotype Argyrotype workshop

IMG_8479

Excellent and productive day where i attended Rosy's Cynanotype and Argyrotype workshop where we coated Somerset printmaking paper with photosensitive chemicals, then exposing either laser printed acetates (as large contact printed negatives negatives) or objects (as photograms) in direct sunlight

The Argyrotype has an excellent toned vintage feel and the Cyanotype a classic alternative process quality.
It's a process i've never done before, although much of the tecnique was similar to traditional darkroom printmaking - i'm very happy with some of the results, many could appear as part of my degree show.
Rosy will be repeating the workshop in two weeks on the 10th of May.
