Who is this for?
This workshop is for anyone who loves nature and wants to find a new way to enjoy it. I aim to improve people’s wellbeing by helping them find an activity that combines their curiosity, creativity and love for nature and its shapes.
This workshop is only suitable for people ages 18+ .
You don’t need to know how to draw, paint or even sketch.
What to expect:
During this 2 hrs workshop I will start showing you examples of the things you can create. Then I will continue with the safety measures to then talk you step by step how to coat a piece of paper with the cyanotype chemistry (UV sensitive), we will work under shade.
I will ask you to create a composition by arranging leaves, flowers, feathers or any other objects you want to print onto the paper and adding white vinegar, turmeric or soap bubbles we will create interesting effects.
We will then proceed to put a clear glass sheet (all edges are protected) on top and hold it tight using binding clips to then step outside and watch the process. In case of rain this will be done inside with UV lamps.
Once the paper turns into a dark colour, we will wash our prints. Each participant will have access to a bowl with water to wash their prints. We will repeat this process in a larger scale when we print onto a bigger piece of paper.
At the end we will hang our prints to dry. In case we don’t have time for the paper to fully dry, I will give you plastic pockets for you to take them home. You will leave with a range prints made by you... Send me a photo if you frame them!!
