Cyanotype Processing
Cyanotype is one of the earliest photographic printing processes, developed in 1842 by Sir John Herschel. It produces striking blue-and-white images using a simple, non-toxic chemical solution that reacts to UV light. Favoured for its hands-on, experimental qualities, cyanotype allows photographers to create unique prints, from traditional negatives to photograms, combining artistry with a tactile, craft-based approach.
Oliver Altermatt is available for one-day workshops teaching cyanotype, guiding participants through the entire process from coating and exposing to developing and finishing prints. These hands-on sessions provide a practical and creative introduction to this historic photographic technique, perfect for photographers and art enthusiasts of all levels.
