Workshop - Photography | Available

Discover the magic of one of photography’s oldest and most accessible alternative processes in this hands-on cyanotype workshop. In just one day, you'll learn how to create striking blue-toned prints using sunlight, water, and simple chemistry. We'll cover the history and science behind the cyanotype process, walk you through how to coat paper with light-sensitive solution, and guide you in creating your own prints using natural objects, film negatives, and digital transparencies.

Perfect for beginners and experienced artists alike, this workshop invites experimentation, creativity, and play. By the end of the session, you’ll leave with your own original cyanotypes and the skills to continue the process at home. All materials are provided—just bring your curiosity and a few items you'd like to experiment with (leaves, lace, or photo negatives work beautifully!).

Chloe Plumb has been experimenting in alternative photo art ever since she felt the need in 2016 to expand the types of fun she was having in the color and black-and-white darkrooms.  As an ongoing Teacher's Assistant for the various film and alternative photography classes in New York's International Center of Photography, she both printed her own film photography and taught others to print.  During her university years at UNC-Chapel Hill, she frequently taught groups of students how to use the darkroom, first serving 2 years as Darkroom Manager of the school's Photography Club, then as President.  Currently she is focused on scanning and organizing her thousands of photograms so that others can finally see what she has gained so much fulfillment over the years in making!
