Cyanotypes are stunning cyan-blue prints which make the perfect home decorations, cards or gifts to loved ones.

Join local artist and printmaker Kirstie Williams on this one-day workshop, where you will explore this unique photographic printing process and create your own cyan-blue prints onto paper and textiles.

Using a variety of found objects and foliage you will come away with at least ten individual cyanotype prints onto A5 paper and textile samples.

We will use our UV exposure unit in the Print Studio, as well as (hopefully!) some sunshine to develop prints using the sun.

Who is the workshop for?

This workshop is suitable for complete beginners and anyone interested in simple photographic printing techniques. Those with previous experience of printmaking may wish to use the day to explore a new technique and gain tutor advice and guidance.

Do I need to bring anything?

All materials and equipment will be provided. If you have any thin objects such as lace, threads, beads, leaves, buttons etc then feel free to bring them along to experiment with. Please wear old clothes in case you get mucky and shoes with covered toes in the print studio.

You can find information about getting to us on public transport and the nearby parking options here.
