10am–3pm (45-minute lunch break)
£80 per person (maximum of 4 participants)
Discover the history and science behind the beautiful cyanotype “blueprint” process in this hands-on workshop.
You will begin by mixing your own light-sensitive emulsion and coating paper in the darkroom. While your paper dries, you’ll experiment with printing on pre-coated paper, fabric and wood. Using found objects, botanical materials, and photographic negatives, you’ll create unique compositions on sensitised surfaces and expose them using UV light.
Once developed in water, your prints will transform before your eyes, shifting from bronze tones to rich, deep blue.
By the end of the session, you’ll leave with a selection of prints ready to frame.
You’re welcome to bring your own botanical materials (such as leaves or ferns) or small objects (e.g. lace, flowers, keys, or feathers) to personalise your work.
Tea, coffee, and biscuits will be provided—please bring your own lunch.
No prior experience is necessary. All materials are included.
