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.—Participants will explore innovative approaches to working with the cyanotype process, including creating duotone cyanotypes by layering yellow and blue layers of a single image, working with cyanotypes on fabric to experiment with texture and versatility, and exploring toning techniques to achieve unique color effects. By experimenting with different materials and processes, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the nuances of cyanotype art. By the end of the session, participants will leave with their own cyanotypes that reflect these advanced techniques.—<a href="https://ellamorton.com/" title="https://ellamorton.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Ella Morton</a> (she/her) is a Canadian visual artist and filmmaker living in Tkarón:to/ Toronto.
