What is sunprinting?
Sunprinting is a unique photographic process that harnesses the power of sunlight to create enchanting, one-of-a-kind prints. Imagine placing objects or negatives on light-sensitive paper, exposing them to the sun’s rays, and watching as captivating blue-and-white images emerge. Step into the world of 19th-century photography pioneers who used this technique to capture stunning images without a camera. With special paper, various objects, and the radiant touch of sunlight, they brought to life vivid blueprints, known as cyanotypes or sun prints.
What will you learn?
In our engaging workshop, you’ll learn the basics of experimental sun printing techniques. Discover the art of exposure as you experiment with different timings, witnessing how they shape the final outcome of your prints. Unleash your creativity with fascinating methods like using stencil patterns, drawing on transparent film, and creating mesmerizing sun print collages by combining multiple prints.
What makes this technique magical is that it’s powered by the sun and water, using natural elements like leaves, plants, and stones to capture beautiful prints. Plus, rest assured, the inks used in this workshop are non-toxic and eco-friendly, safe for humans, animals, and waterways.
