Leeds Print Workshop

Explore the beautiful photographic process of cyanotype to create your own cyan-blue prints.

You will learn how to produce a set of cyanotypes where thin objects or acetates are placed directly onto specially-coated paper and then exposed to UV light. When these objects are removed and the paper is washed with water a blue image remains. You will also learn how to use a variety of effects called toning, intensifying and reducing which alters the blue-ness of the prints.What experience do I need?This course is suitable for beginners and anyone interested in simple photographic printing techniques. Those with previous experience of printmaking may wish to use the day to explore a new technique.What will I make?You’ll produce a set of beautiful and intriguing blue prints using found objects such as beads, buttons, lace, leaves etc, and/or your own acetate images/compositions. Expect to go home with at least 10-15 different A5 cyanotype prints onto paper which explore some of the different possibilities of the process.Who is my tutor?<a href="https://www.jowilkinson.co.uk/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Joanna Wilkinson</a> is a practising printmaker, illustrator and bookbinder.

We recognise that everybody’s accessibility needs may differ, therefore please email us at hello@leedsprintworkshop.org to discuss any concerns you may have before booking.
