In this 2 hour lesson, learn how to make prints using the cyanotype process, which produces rich blue prints with brilliant highlights. We will cover chemistry mixing, print coating, and printing, and you will take your cyanotypes home with you at the end of the lesson.

Chemistry and paper provided. Students will need to bring their own print materials. Cyanotype is a contact process, so print materials can range from physical objects to large format negatives. If you would like to use a digital image, please send us the image at least 7 days before your class so that we can prepare a digital negative for you.

Private, personally tailored lesson with a teacher with over 20 years of experience. Learn the specifics of darkroom printing and hone your skills to a deeper degree. The lesson can be molded to fit your needs or interests, and can cover non traditional techniques as well as all of the classic darkroom tricks. MINIMUM purchase of 2 hours (change quantity to 2 or more when adding item to checkout). We believe nothing much can get done in the darkroom with less than this!

A 3 hour lesson for those who have learned this process previously, but need a refresher course. We will briefly describe the film developing process, going over processing techniques and times and leaving you with a syllabus, though we will not physically develop film in this course. We will then make a few prints in the darkroom, which you’ll take home at the end of the lesson. It’s just enough to get you started again, but not enough to learn as a beginner.

For beginners, please sign up for film processing/printing private lessons a la carte.
