Discover the timeless allure of Prussian blue in this hands-on exploration of large-format cyanotype printing. Over four weeks, students will learn to design, coat, and expose prints up to 20x30 inches, with the option to work even larger. The course emphasizes both technical precision and creative experimentation—covering digital and analog negatives, material selection, brush and rod coating techniques, exposure calibration, toning methods, and archival finishing.
Whether you’re a photographer expanding your darkroom practice or an artist seeking new ways to translate imagery into physical form, you’ll leave with a portfolio of striking cyanotypes and the confidence to continue large-scale printing independently.

Christopher Gumm
Christopher originally started taking photos his senior year of high school when he needed an elective course to fill his schedule, and was captivated by the balance of artistic expression and the technical components of capturing light. As an Aerospace Engineer, he brings a technical approach to his processes that allow for a more controlled workflow while also creating an space to explore creatively. Christopher's passions in photography are focused around bending and capturing artificial light along with exploring the outdoors. Once the image is captured, however, the final part of the process is printing the scene to honor the fleeting yet frozen moment in time.
