Cyanotype is one of photography's oldest printing processes, traditionally used to create beautiful blue still images. On this two-day course, you'll learn how to transform video and stop-motion footage into cyanotype animations.

Led by Rosie Viilup and Rob Halhead, you'll create your own short animation from start to finish. Using a smartphone or digital camera, you'll capture footage or stop-motion images, turn them into printable acetate negatives, and make cyanotype prints using LED exposure and contact printing.
