Loving my mistakes 💙 Experimenting with cyanot Loving my mistakes 💙 Experimenting with cyanotype on watercolour board. I love the deep deep blue but oh boy do they take forever to wash clean! I obviously pulled this one out of the soup too early & the dilute chemistry in the paper has re-exposed, making some of the stars pale blue and bleeding beyond my nice brushed edges (love a good hake mark). I suppose I could crop the paper to get rid of the bleed, but although I am a self confessed perfectionist I do love a happy mistake now and then. It’s authentic! #papercraft #cyanotype #photogram #sunprint #silhouette #starrysky #watercolourpaper #happymistakes #wetprocess #handmadephotography
Test print on broadcloth in preparation for next w Test print on broadcloth in preparation for next weeks workshop with the students at Glenunga International High School. Probably the nicest cyanotype I’ve made in ages! This will be my first workshop since Covid… sure hope I’ve remembered everything important 🤞🏽 Wish me luck!!

The varnish is drying on our last batch of contact The varnish is drying on our last batch of contact frames for 2022 💫 We nabbed some incredible old timber from a shed clear-out in the Riverland earlier in the year, and it’s been a thrill working with it. Most of this batch are made from old meranti door and window jambs, but there’s a few in bluegum - and one deep purple 11x14 that we think is jarrah. It’s a hefty boi 💜 #contactframes #recycledtimber #wetprocess #altphotography #photographictools #photographicequipment
Hey Friends!! Long time no see 💙 This is part o Hey Friends!! Long time no see 💙 This is part of the reason why: Aurelia has finally (finally!!) nearly almost finished her postgraduate studies. This means two things!! Thing the first: there is a big sparkly moon waiting for you to come and take photos in it @unisasasagallery (last day tomorrow!) Thing the second: she will soon (finally!!) have time to get The Analogue Laboratory ready for more fun times, like old times 💙 Hope to see you all soon (& isn’t today a -perfect- day for cyanotype 🌞)

The first sand is my favourite step in making cont The first sand is my favourite step in making contact frames - they transform from rough as guts with glue & putty and gunk all over into something that hints at just how pretty and useful they will be. At this point we’ve already spent many hours on them - sourcing recycled hardwood, cutting and routing the wood into shape, mitering the corners, glueing and clamping, then reinforcing the joins with slots of another hardwood (oak is our fave for that) & rebating the slots for the springs to slide into. There’s still several more grades of sanding to go, then the coats of danish oil. Not to mention making the steel springs and the split backing boards, adding the hinges, gluing the felt and checking the tension. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that we’ve barely been keeping up with backorders for most of the year, but it looks like we are almost ahead! There’s a few in this next batch that haven’t been spoken for yet 😊

Happened upon these glorious Cyanotype pieces by l Happened upon these glorious Cyanotype pieces by local Adelaide artist Katheryn Hill whose works are part of the group exhibition “Sight Specific” at Holdfast Optometrists on Jetty Road, Glenelg. I adore the way the beautiful images have been delicately stitched together! If you know Kathryn’s Instagram please let us know so we can give her a round of applause & proper kudos! 💙👏👏👏 . . #bluegoo #cyanotype #salafestival2019 #jettyroadglenelg #radelaide #madeinadelaide

BIG NEWS! The Analogue Laboratory is joining the M BIG NEWS! The Analogue Laboratory is joining the Makers at @6manton ! Yep, we are rubbing elbows with the finest clutch of humans ♥️ in their magical making space! Our neighbours are @dmnwrmn of #sticktogalleypress (letterpress) and @tipchick of @unionstprint (printmakers) It’s an all analogue, roll up your sleeves and get messy making space and we Could Not Be More Excited!! Damien is the one who has done *all* the building so far (this is his photo, we pinched it 🖤I think he is excited too? 😉) There’s still lots to do before we are ready to show you around, but we plan to offer a lot more opportunities to play in the Dark in our new darkroom built for two 💙 . . #stoneandquoin #6manton #darkroom #makeathing #creativeadelaide #adelaidemade #theanaloguelaboratory #analoguelab #analoguelaboratory #newdigs #bestfriends #explodewithhappiness
Hey Guys! It’s been a while, and although we’v Hey Guys! It’s been a while, and although we’ve been quiet we haven’t been idle. We had high hopes of being able to announce our plans for the not-too-distant future, but there’s been a small out-of-our-control spanner in the works. We are busting to share, as it’s massively exciting, but there’s a bit more waiting patiently, so ... In the meantime we are still keeping the Analogue Love Alive - supplying chemistry & equipment all over Australia and the world. (Kinda surprised you’re all still mad for Cyanotype this far into winter, but we understand the Blue Goo is addictive 💙 A new batch of contact frames is drying in the shed) We’ve also been working on plans for an artist’s residency in the Mid Murray Mallee area. It’s going to be sweeeeeet 👌
