Tech's Tactile Thursdays: Cyanotypes
Location
Join the Georgia Tech Library in the Wilby Room on Crosland Tower's Grove Level on Thursday, Sept. 3, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for the first Tech's Tactile Thursdays event of the semester, featuring cyanotypes.
Led by the Robert C. Williams Museum of Papermaking, this workshop will explore an early form of cameraless photography known as the cyanotype. Using paper pre-coated with a mixture of chemicals, sunlight, and plants, participants will create their own cyanotypes.
After creating an individual cyanotype, participants will collaborate on a large group piece.
Participants will also learn about the history of cyanotypes, from the technique's invention and earliest photographic applications to contemporary paper artists who create artwork using this process.
All materials are provided.
This workshop is open to Georgia Tech students, staff, and faculty. It will be held in the Wilby Room (Room G-120) in Crosland Tower, near Blue Donkey Coffee.
Registration is required.
