Cyanotype is one of the oldest photo-making processes in existence, starting way back in 1842.

They were first used for making architectural blueprints (the origin of the word blueprint) and were adapted to taking biological specimens. Any object you lay over paper that has been treated with a cyanotype solution will leave a white silhouette when exposed to sunlight. 

Please feel free to bring items from home to use for your print, or make use of an assortment of items we provide! Items that are opaque and can be laid flat are best, such as flowers, feathers, or small trinkets.

Please join us in the Community Meeting Room on Saturday, June 4th from 2 to 4 pm!
