Cyanotypes: Artisania at Woodford Folk Festival

My sister has requested that I put some photos on here about a recent workshop I attended where we got to play around with Cyanotypes. The technique has been around for a few hundred years and I believe was the first ever form of photography. It is a fascinating process, I was keen to try using different objects and techniques for my exposures.
