Switch off your phone for a few hours and enjoy your surroundings, listen to the sounds of the Lake drawing in and out. We’ll read a paragraph from Dorothy Wordsworth's journals, focus on the words, and take a walk by the Lake keeping those words in mind. We’ll enjoy this moment to engage with our sense of wellbeing and let the soothing sound of the water take deep breaths and focus in on your inner core.
As we collect our objects, we begin to look at them how they feel, the patterns and textures how they smell, and the sounds they may make, what is your favourite object? or material? why do you feel drawn to this?
There will then be a practical tutorial on how to make a cyanotype or sun print, using the words and objects, inspired by Dorothy Wordsworth to create artwork. We will make these and develop them in the sunlight, wash and dry them so you can take away your art!
Tuition will be provided by Photographer/Artist Lavinia Haslam.
