Age: 18+ Dat: Wednesday June 25, 2025 Time: 6:30 - 9:30 PM Cost: M $60 and NM $65 Instructor: Sonya de Laat Lumen printing and Cyanotype are two of the earliest photographic processes, each offering a unique way to capture light, shadow, and time. This workshop combines these two techniques, using both the AGB darkroom and natural sunlight to create striking, archival photographic images that blend the soft, ephemeral qualities of Lumen printing with the deep, rich blues of Cyanotype.  Using a combination of traditional darkroom techniques and alternative photographic processes, you’ll experiment with objects that cast distinctive silhouettes, refract light, or create suggestive shadows. We’ll explore the effects of translucent and graphic materials such as fabrics, flowers, stencils, and glassware—alongside any objects you choose to bring—to create evocative, emotional, and dynamic cameraless images.  Through this hands-on and playful approach, you’ll gain essential skills in analogue photography, including an understanding of the chemistry of light-sensitive materials, darkroom safety, and the interplay of exposure and development. This workshop is perfect for those looking to explore historical photographic processes in an experimental and expressive way.  About the Instructor: Sonya de Laat is a Hamilton-based photographer drawn to the medium’s many creative, social, and political potentials. After years of working and experimenting with different digital photography treatments, she has found a renewed sense of creative flow through exploration of nineteenth century photography techniques and alternative photography methods. She is an active member of the Latow Photographers Guild, housed within the Art Gallery of Burlington, currently acting as the guild’s vice president. Sonya has a Diploma in Photography from Algonquin College, and degrees in Anthropology (McMaster) and Media Studies (Western), where she focused on developing professional photography skills and studied histories of humanitarian photography. When not engaging in her creative photography practice, she works as a Research Associate at McMaster University and a Historical Interpreter at Whitehern Historical House & Garden for the City of Hamilton.
