Before cameras were invented, artists discovered how to make cyanotype prints combining light and nature to make beautiful blue paper prints of plants. Today, those prints are in museums and still as blue as when they were first made. Learn about this vintage process and alternative colors and substrates. Have fun making your own beautiful paper prints with plants and sunlight.
Margaret Lockwood-Lass has worked with cyanotypes for over 30 years and still loves their wonderful blue colors and the process of printing plants and other items on alternate surfaces of all kinds. She spent her college days at the University of Iowa making and selling cyanotypes on the summer art circuits. She has taught at Owens Community College, BGSU, and Lourdes University.
