Cyanotypes: A hands-on workshop for creating distinctive camera-less Blue prints

Rebecca Zeiss MFA currently teaches design, photography and printmaking at the University of Michigan Flint. Frequently Ms. Zeiss uses a large format camera with antiquarian processes such as wet plate collodion, tintypes and ambrotypes, cyanotypes, gum bichromate, platinum palladium and photopolymer gravure. Her work ranges from oversized elongated translucent vertical images printed two sided on Kozo and silk materials to small intimate images often referencing dreamlike visions. Many of her images suggest ideas of domestic space and reconsider the child experience. Her work has recently been exhibited at FotoNostrum in Barcelona, The Halide Project in Philadelphia, PA and Buckham Gallery Flint, MI. Featured in Christina Z. Anderson's book of Ron Reeder's QuadToneRIP process you can view some of Ms. Zeiss' platinum-palladium work and research.
