Workshop: Prussian Blue. History and practice of the cyanotype.
Alternative Photographic Processing.
This course offers two points of view about two photographic processes which are alternatives to iron salts. One viewpoint will come from an historian and restorer who will detail the genesis of the process which began with the history of photography itself (Herschel, 1842), its use in the Victorian era (for example in Anna Atkins’ plant series) and its use from the turn of that century, by the pictorialist photographers, through to the contemporary period (Nancy Wilson Pajik, etc...). There will be a practical demonstration of the process. The other point of view comes from an artist who currently uses the argyrotype, an improved version of an older printing process: the Kallitype (first used in 1889) with a creative aim.
