Focusing Spot: A Creative Space for Young Photographers – Cyanotypes

Houston Center for Photography presents Focusing Spot: A Creative Space for Young Photographers – Cyanotypes, a workshop for teens ages 12-17, 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, January 16, 2016.

Explore the world of cyanotypes, the contact printing process developed in the late 1800s. We will learn a brief history of cyanotypes and look at contemporary artists who use them in their practice. We will discuss different ways in which you can print on cyanotype papers and then create prints in which you can take home.

What students need to bring:
Small objects that are special to the student
Transparent objects

Focusing Spot: A Creative Space for Young Photographers introduces you to different photographic techniques such as lighting, editing and processing, alternative processes, color management and printing. As you move through the courses, each day you will learn new and different techniques.
