This will form part of the national Heritage Open Days
No experience is necessary. Participants can make a small print that can then be taken away. Open to all ages.
What is cyanotype?
'The cyanotype is a slow-reacting, economical photographic printing formulation sensitive to a limited near ultraviolet and blue light spectrum, the range 300 nm to 400 nm, known as UVA radiation. It produces a cyan-blue print used for art as monochrome imagery applicable on a range of supports and for reprography in the form of blueprints. For any purpose, the process usually uses two chemicals: ferric ammonium citrate or ferric ammonium oxalate, and potassium ferricyanide. Only water is used to develop and fix. Developed in 1842, it is still in use.' (Wikipedia)
