BLUE IS THE WORLD’S FAVORITE COLOR: the Cyanotype Process Learn how to make blueprints using this historic analog photo process, then bind the prints using a Drum Leaf method of book binding. In this workshop, we will meet at mid-day, when the sun is the strongest for best exposure times, for ‘plein air’ cyanotype printing. We will create compositions from seaweed and other plant materials and objects. Students will learn techniques and tips for this alternative photo print process. In the second session we will bind together 5 prints using a Drum Leaf binding method. This is a two-day workshop, which meets 11am to 3pm both days. Participants are encouraged to bring flat objects such as keys, plant leaves and flowers, tools, lace, stencils, twine, and/or translucent things.

Continuous-tone photographic images are characterized by gradual transitions between shades and colors and have frustrated letterpress printers for decades. The need for the traditional halftone screen often produces coarse prints, difficult registration and color issues. In this technical hybrid workshop, which includes both online and and in-person components, participants will explore the possibilities of letterpress printing as a means of producing successful four-color process images. Two live Zoom sessions (Feb 18 & 25, 6pm-8pm) include discussion and demonstrations on how to achieve successful results, choosing and editing original images, color manipulation in PhotoShop, soft proofing and preparing files for photopolymer plates. Individual consultation meetings will also be available (Mar 4). Students will order their own photo polymer plates for original four-color images. Two weeks later, with plates in hand, we will meet in person for hands-on printing (March 15 & 16, 9am to 4pm), plus demonstrations of technique and discussions of strategies for letterpress printing of multiple plates in tight registration. Skill level: Students should have letterpress experience with some knowledge of Adobe PhotoShop. Information Source: The International Printing Museum | eventbrite
