Introduction to Cyanotype – The Magic of Sunlight

Cyanotypes take after their namesake with their beautiful cyan hues. A liquid that is light sensitive is painted onto paper and through the magic of sunlight image is echoed onto that paper.

In this workshop we will be making a series of cyanotype prints, experimenting with photographic negatives, found objects and foraged items. Guided by two Royal College of Art trained printmakers you will leave with a selection of frameable final prints. We welcome all skill levels.

Alongside the workshop you will be provided with a selection of complimentary snacks and beverages.

Studio Notes:

- Please arrive on time and wrapped up warm – our studio, whilst lovely, is an old Victorian building and though we will have heaters it still gets chilly in the evenings.

- Make sure any clothes you are wearing you are happy to get messy in – we do have aprons, but printmaking is unpredictable at times.

- You do not need to bring any materials as they will all be provided to you.
