Cyanotype Taster Workshop with Artist Jill Welham

Create beautiful blue and white photograms from nature.

An opportunity to learn the historic photographic technique of cyanotype using a
range of botanical specimens, feathers and lace. Create beautiful blue and white
photograms from nature. Cyanotype (or sun printing) is an historic photographic
process first invented in 1842. In this three hour taster session you will learn about
the traditional process and make your own beautiful images to take home.
Cyanotype creates a white silhouette on a Prussian blue background. Using the sun
to create your images, it’s a wonderful way to engage with nature and capture the
tiniest details of a leaf, petal or fern frond.
We’ll be using cyanotype chemicals painted onto watercolour paper and a selection
of leaves, flowers, feathers and lace to create our images. All materials will be
provided but if you have a favourite plant, flower or small piece of lace fabric bring it
along and make your own truly unique photograms to frame and treasure.

If you love blue and white prints, this session is definitely for you!
