Cyanotype Printing Workshop

Join Hannah, a lancashire based printmaker & botanical artist in her Cyanotype Workshop.

Reconnect with nature through art in this hands-on cyanotype workshop, where you’re will create beautiful blue-and-white prints using pressed botanicals.

Cyanotype is a 19th-century photographic process that uses sunlight to capture the delicate shapes and details of natural elements. By working directly with pressed botanicals, you'll not only learn a beautiful alternative printing technique but also deepen your appreciation for the intricate forms found in the natural world. Whether you're an artist, a nature lover, or simply curious, this workshop offers a peaceful, creative way to engage with both the outdoors and your own creativity. No experience necessary—just bring your love for nature.
