Cyanotype is a photographic printing process which produces a beautiful deep blue print. This introductory session will show you how to create your own artwork using this fascinating, easy to use process. The workshop will start with a relaxing mindful walk in our beautiful forest to collect natural materials with interesting shapes to use in our prints. We will then return to base (either outdoor or indoor depending on the weather conditions) to use the material to construct a cyanotype print.
All the materials are included in the price. At the end of the session, you will be able to take home your finished print. Tea/coffee/biscuits will be provided, however, we also encourage you to bring your own packed lunch as this is full day workshop.
