What You Will Learn?
- This class is all about exploring 3 easy ways of protecting your finished cyanotype photo prints without just sticking them in a frame. Now, there's nothing wrong with framing your cyanotypes, but I often find that I'd rather have them out in the open, without the pane of glass between the print and the viewer. But this exposes my prints and is likely to cause longevity issues simply due to the prints being exposed to air, humidity and light..
- So all 3 of these methods create a thing coat over the surface of your print so it will be more protected from regular wear and tear. These also have the added benefit of being able to change the surface of your final print. If you like the matte texture of your paper as it is, there's some good options, but if you want a glossier, more luminous finish, then you'll also have some options..
