HART x Hong Kong Open Printshop 香港版畫工作室 | Workshop 工作坊
A Brief Encounter with Cyanotype 藍印初探
Cyanotype is one of the more commonly known Alternative Photographic Processes which produces lovely Prussian Blue images. It was invented in an exciting era of the 19th century, not long after photography was discovered – by the British scientist John Herschel. It was popular for a few decades until more capable processes took over.
The technique, together with a whole range of historic processes, are having a revival in the recent years just like so many of the craft or art media that celebrates human touches.
The workshop will briefly introduce the process from historical and cultural contexts, taking participants onto an interesting journey into the wonderful world of this alternative process through creating Cyanotype images.

About the Instructor
FUNG Ho-yin
Creating imageries with alternative photographic processes is FUNG Ho-yin’s specialism. His works have been exhibited internationally in Macau, China, Japan, Thailand, Australia, France, U.K., and, U.S.A. And, have been acquired by museums of Hong Kong and mainland China.
Together with several imagemakers, Ho-yin founded the only nonprofit professional printmaking organization in Hong Kong back in 2000 – The Hong Kong Open Printshop, aiming to enrich the cultural life of the local community, through print & creative art activities.
Since then, the HKOP has produced various significant printmaking programmes, including the ‘Hong Kong Graphic Art Fiestas’, ‘Together We Stride’, ‘Pop Up Press’ and ‘The Legendary Pulp’. To successfully host the ‘IMPACT 11’ - international printmaking conference (International Multi-disciplinary Printmaking, Artists, Concepts and Techniques), in Hong Kong in 2020 would be the next major milestone for the group.
Ho-yin is currently a Partner Hausian at HART Haus for Social Studio Session 6.
藍印/藍曬法(Cyanotype) 顧名思義是一種能夠產生出絢麗的蔚藍色的另類攝影印曬法。是由英國科學家John Herschel在十九世紀發明的光/化學攝影冲印法。在流行數十年之後便被其他較方便實用的冲印法取代了。
但這個具歷史的技法在近年正在悄悄地跟其他手感工藝一樣紛紛在各地復興。
這個藍印工作坊將會從歷史及文化等脈絡切入，配合親身體驗與實踐，帶領參加者去探索這絢麗的蔚藍世界。
