Alternative Processes: Cyanotype and Gum Bichromate

The deceptively simple cyanotype process is one of the original and oldest photographic printing methods, offering an array of rich, exquisite, and mysterious blues. In this workshop, students experiment on various papers, creating both photograms and photographs, learning to create digital negatives. While cyanotype is a stand-alone process of choice for contemporary photographic artists, many continue to evolve their final prints by toning with varying organic botanical toners, altering a print to almost any color and hue. This versatile process works amazingly well with other alternative processes including gum bichromate. Students also experiment with adding layers of gum bichromate over their blue prints to engage the full color aspects of combining processes.
