LEARN cyanotype WITH 2M ZONE
At 2M ZONE, cyanotype is taught through direct experience and hands-on practice. Participants are introduced to the complete workflow of the process — from preparing the chemistry and coating the paper to working with negatives or objects, exposure, washing, and finishing the final print.
Beyond learning the basic technique, the workshop encourages experimentation with materials, image construction, exposure, and toning. Participants gain the practical knowledge necessary to understand the process and continue exploring cyanotype independently.
WORKSHOP FORMAT
Group Workshop
Designed for small groups, the workshop provides a practical introduction to the cyanotype process.
Participants will:
– LEARN THE HISTORY AND FUNDAMENTALS OF CYANOTYPE
– BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE CHEMISTRY, MATERIALS, AND WORKFLOW
– PREPARE AND COAT THEIR OWN PHOTOGRAPHIC PAPER
– WORK WITH PHOTOGRAPHIC NEGATIVES, OBJECTS, AND PHOTOGRAMS
– EXPOSE, PROCESS, AND FINISH THEIR OWN CYANOTYPE PRINTS
– EXPLORE TONING AND EXPERIMENTAL APPROACHES TO THE PROCESS
– TAKE HOME THEIR OWN HANDMADE CYANOTYPE PRINTS
Maximum number of participants: 7
Duration: One (or two) day workshop

Intensive One-to-One Education
For photographers and artists seeking a deeper understanding of cyanotype, we offer individual intensive training.
The programme is tailored to the participant’s experience and interests and explores the process in greater depth, including chemistry, paper and surface preparation, negatives, exposure control, toning, troubleshooting, and experimental applications.
PARTICIPANTS RECEIVE DETAILED GUIDANCE, TECHNICAL SUPPORT, AND ACCESS TO RECIPES AND RESOURCES NECESSARY FOR CONTINUING THE PROCESS INDEPENDENTLY.
WHO IS IT FOR?
Artists, photographers, students, educators, researchers, and anyone interested in historical, alternative, and experimental photographic processes.
No previous experience with cyanotype or analogue photography is required.
HOST A WORKSHOP
2M ZONE workshops can be organised in collaboration with galleries, museums, educational institutions, photography festivals, residency programmes, and cultural organisations.
Workshops can be adapted to different formats, durations, and levels of experience.
