Cyanotype Workshop: Creative 3‑Hour Workshop
Step into the enchanting world of cyanotype, the historic sun‑printing process celebrated for its luminous Prussian‑blue tones and botanical beauty. In this creative 3‑hour workshop, you’ll explore one of the oldest photographic techniques through playful composition, natural materials, and the magic of light.
Whether you’re drawn to delicate botanical prints or bold experimental textures, this workshop invites you to create a collection of striking cyanotypes that reflect your own artistic style. You’ll also experiment with substances such as vinegar, salt, turmeric, and paprika to interact with the cyanotype chemicals, creating surprising textures and colour shifts.
Leave with a beautiful series of prints, new techniques, and the inspiration to continue sun‑printing at home.
Who it’s for
Perfect for: Beginners, creatives, nature‑lovers, and anyone curious about exploring a historic photographic technique through hands‑on experimentation.
No experience needed. Just bring your ideas and curiosity—everything else is provided.
Ages 18+
Dates & times
This workshop runs for 3 hours:
Saturday 27th June, 10am–1pm
Saturday 1st August, 10am-1pm
What to expect
During this relaxed and exploratory session, you will:
– Learn the fundamentals of cyanotype, from coating paper to exposing prints
– Experiment with natural materials, objects, and textures
– Create multiple compositions, from botanical pieces to abstract explorations
– Play with household substances (vinegar, salt, turmeric, paprika) to alter and enhance the chemistry
– Produce a small series of finished cyanotype artworks to take home
By the end, you’ll walk away with a collection of beautifully sun‑printed pieces—compose, expose, experiment, and discover the magic of light.
Facilitator
Beth Munro is a printmaker and illustrator based in SE Cornwall. She uses a diverse range of printing processes to reflect her love of the sea and what lies beneath, developing hybrid monotypes using both man‑made and organic materials found on her local beach.
For Beth, the act of printing becomes a conversation between physical process, reveal, and creative response. She enjoys collaborating with marine scientists, digital technologists, and fellow creatives to explore how art can help us form meaningful connections with the ocean.
