Discover the magic of one of the oldest photographic printing processes in this hands-on 2-hour cyanotype printing workshop. Known for its rich Prussian blue tones, cyanotype is a camera-less technique that uses sunlight and iron-based chemistry to create striking images on paper or fabric.

In this workshop, participants will learn how to prepare and coat their own cyanotype paper, arrange objects or negatives for exposure, and harness UV light to develop their unique blueprints. We’ll explore both traditional botanical printing and experimental approaches using found materials, transparencies, or personal photographs.

Whether you’re an artist, photographer, or curious beginner, you’ll leave with a collection of your own cyanotype prints and the skills to continue the process at home. All materials are provided — just bring your creativity and a sense of wonder!

Led by Mohammed Shamma, a self-taught artist who has returned to photography over the past decade. He works primarily with papyrus which allows me to explore the intersection of his Egyptian heritage in his work. His work focuses on ethereal photographic collages that reflect both our perception of the ancient world, storytelling and experimentation. He uses a range of image transfer and printing techniques—including inkjet, dye sublimation, thermal transfer, Cyanotypes and Polaroid emulsion lifts.
