Class Size Max: 6

Prerequisite: Previous experience printing cyanotype is encouraged, but not required

This two-session course provides students with the opportunity to tone cyanotype prints in a classroom setting. The first session begins with an overview of the coating, processing, bleaching, and toning steps, led by the instructor. The remainder of the course is dedicated to hands-on practice and experimentation using three toners: coffee, green tea, and black tea, and two types of bleach: ammonia and sodium carbonate. Toning is best suited for prints that are at least a few days old, so participants are encouraged to bring in cyanotype prints on paper or fabric that were made in previous classes or independently. Print size is limited to 8x10. 

$30 materials fee included in tuition.

If your desired tuition option is unavailable, please email info@penumbrafoundation.org and we will do our best to accommodate you. If the entire class is sold out, we can add you to the waitlist.
