In 1999 Mike Ware published his development of
chemical improvements to Herschel’s 1842 original Cyanotype formulation, shortening exposure times, providing contrast control and a longer graduation of tones. This beautiful Prussian blue process is inexpensive and easy to use. The characteristic cyanblue colour is embedded in the fibres of the paper. This process can also be applied to other surfaces i.e. fabric.

This workshop is a totally engaging hands-on experience, involving the participant from the choice and preparation of paper, until the moment the image is revealed.

Because of its small class sizes, this workshop is adaptable for participants of all levels of experience. Lots of one-on-one coaching. A basic knowledge of photographic printing is advantageous but not essential.

In 1991 Wendy completed a graduate Diploma specialising in 19th Century photographic printing processes, and has been fascinated by them ever since. Cyanotype was one of the earliest processes in the development of photography, but remains a satisfying creative medium for modern photographic artists.
