Coming Events

In addition to our normal monthly meetings (first Wednesday, 7.30pm) we usually hold one or two 'Conversationals' each month. These are part-tutorial, part-open discussion and part-demonstration sessions on a wide range of topics. Conversationals are usually held on other Wednesday nights.

We also organise frequent outings to interesting places, and we provide workshops covering most aspects of photography at the Centre.

C Y A N O T Y P E W O R K S H O P
with Wendy Currie

Learn how to make cyanotype prints on watercolour paper, rice paper and fabric.

Cyanotype was one of the earliest photographic printing processes. A Prussian blue is formed when a mixture of certain iron salts are exposed to a strong UV light source. In 1991 Wendy completed a Graduate Diploma specialising in 19th Century photographic printing processes, and has been fascinated by them ever since. She will show you how to make images from digital or analogue negatives, photograms from objects such as leaves, lace, feathers, glass and many more.

This workshop is a totally engaging hands-on experience, involving the participant from the choice and preparation of paper, until the moment the image is revealed. Wendy will also show you how to achieve a subtle variety of shades with various toning techniques.

This workshop is adaptable for participants of all levels of experience. Lots of one-on-one coaching.
Venue: Primrose Park Art & Craft Centre, Cremorne

on watercolour paper

Van Dyke is a 19th Century photographic printing process. An iron salt solution is brushed onto watercolour paper then dried and placed in contact with a large negative. It is exposed to the sun or UV lightbox and processed in further chemicals. Each image is hand-coated and therefore unique with its own characteristics
