On Wednesday 23rd & Friday 25th July, discover the art of cyanotype, also known as Blueprint printing, a 19th-century photographic process that uses sunlight and natural materials to create vivid blue artworks.
In this outdoor workshop, you’ll explore the basics of composition, learn how to use light-sensitive paper, and create your own botanical prints using plants and textures foraged from the surrounding landscape.
Led by artist Judith Tutin, this hands on session is perfect for anyone curious about alternative photography, nature inspired art, or simply looking for a creative way to spend a summer morning. Judith will guide you through the entire process from preparing your materials to exposing and rinsing your final prints.
What to expect:
A gentle introduction to Cyanotype printing
Creative time outdoors, foraging and arranging your compositions
Step by step guidance in exposing and developing your prints
A chance to make several frame-able artworks to take home
A relaxed, mindful environment suitable for beginners and experienced creatives alike
