The weather held for the cyanotype workshop. The process uses sunlight to expose the prints. The first step is to coat the paper with an emulsion, dry it and then put it outside in the sun. The areas exposed to UV light (sunlight) turn blue, those not exposed will be the color of the paper or fabric substrate. The attached image is a photogram. I used actual objects to block the light. Photographic negatives can be used, too. I often print one of my digital images onto transparency film and use it as my negative.
