Cyanotype Master Class (12+)
Cyanotype is a special type of monochrome photographic printing or a real white and blue miracle that appears under the influence of ultraviolet light. In short, if you are a fan of film photography, you will definitely like it.
Cyanotype was used by botanists to obtain plant photograms, photographers - to obtain test positives, engineers to copy drawings. Well, now - it is a cool means of artistic expression. Let's analyze the whole process and try everything in practice: from collage, solution preparation to direct development.
And as a bonus, you can bring a stream of T-shirt to practice on fabric!

Mini-Course: From "T" to "E" with Tiles
As Wikipedia states, an important technical feature of ceramic tiles is the presence of a rectangular protrusion on the backside - the "rump" - intended for mounting. So, in the spirit of fairness, we will be making relief ceramic tiles for wall cladding, stoves, and fireplaces.
And now, to business:
3 sessions on Tuesdays at 7:30 PM Meeting one (2-3 hours): We'll discuss what we know about tiles and methods of their production, create a clay tile prototype, and make a plaster mold. Then, we'll let the mold set while we head home to study further.
Meeting two (1-2 hours): Using the freshly set plaster molds, we'll make two ceramic tiles using the press molding method and prepare them for firing.
Final session (1-2 hours): We'll discuss what glazes are and how to use them to decorate tiles.
From theory, we'll move on to practice. We'll rejoice as our creations are ready for the second firing.
