Inspired by the museum’s annual floral display, Dutch Connection, we’ll be showing how to make cyanotypes using natural specimens. One of the simplest and safest forms of photography, cyanotypes require minimal chemistry and make beautiful blue photographs.
In this virtual demonstration, Landscape Manager Dan Bellavia will talk about the flowers and history of Dutch Connection, giving us a quick behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to create this display. Then, Historic Process Specialist Nick Brandreth will make some cyanotypes using flowers taken from Dutch Connection.
