Cyanotype Details

Explore the art of cyanotype printing in our workshop at Hillside House, where you'll create stunning blue-toned images using sunlight. We'll guide you through the process of coating your surface with photosensitive chemicals, arranging your design, and letting the sun work its magic to reveal your unique creation.
