The Art of Cyanotype – Advanced

Artist & instructor Fruma Markowitz returns to lead this Advanced Art of Cyanotype workshop 

 

• The perfect opportunity to learn more advanced processes, further experiment and develop your skills.  Create prints on paper using the cyanotype historical photographic process. 
• Practice the “Wet” Cyanotype process: using materials commonly found in one’s kitchen – sea salt, turmeric powder, and dish soap to achieve new textures and surprising colors. 
• Learn bleaching and toning techniques: using washing soda, black tea and instant coffee to achieve different colors with pre-made cyanotype prints. 
• Use botanical specimens and common objects to produce one-of-a-kind compositions involving both random and intentional mark-marking. The results are surprising, ethereal and delightful!

Fruma is a member of several artist organizations in CT, including Silvermine Guild of Artists, the Artists Collective of Westport, The Kerschner Gallery, The Bendheim Gallery, Carriage Barn Art Center, Ridgefield Guild of Artists, Shoreline Arts Alliance and Rowayton Arts Center.
