Light and Layers: Exploring Cyanotype Processes This series focuses on cyanotype, one of the earliest photographic printing processes, and explores both traditional and contemporary techniques. Participants will learn to create digital negatives designed specifically for cyanotype printing and experiment with methods such as duotone layering, fabric printing, and toning. Each workshop builds on foundational skills while encouraging hands-on exploration, resulting in a deeper understanding of cyanotype’s creative possibilities and a unique collection of prints. — Cyanotype Foundations In this hands-on workshop, learn how to create cyanotype prints with darker blues and deeper tonal range using modern printing processes.Participants will be guided through the experience of combining contemporary image-making with one of the earliest photographic printing processes.

She was born in Newfoundland and is currently living in Toronto. Walking is one of her passions, an activity she enjoys and where her thoughts can flow at liberty in many directions. The exploration of parks, ravines and waterways in and around Toronto has given Sally a rich context where many of her art projects have been sparked and fostered. During her walks she has collected hundreds of natural specimens to be scanned and catalogued into her image bank where she draws from to create work.—Please note: To register for the Light and Layers series, you must do so on the <a href="https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/light-and-layers-introduction-to-digital-negatives-tickets-1114589129089?aff=oddtdtcreator" title="https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/light-and-layers-introduction-to-digital-negatives-tickets-1114589129089?aff=oddtdtcreator" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Introduction to Digital Negatives registration page</a>.—Participants who provide at least 5 days' notice of cancellation will be eligible for a full refund minus the Eventbrite fee.
