Cyanotype - The Process

We have documented our cyanotype technique, but a more comprehensive discussion of the process should  be included in the blog. We go to the ultimate authority, Mike Ware, who includes history, chemistry, step-by-step and scholarly commentary on the process.

Another excellent source of information on this and other Alternative Processes is The Book of Alternative Photographic Processes by Christopher James. He stresses the accessibility of the process and the joy of teaching.  L has used this process in her summer classes at the Milwaukee Montessori School.
