Cyanotype Print Making: Half Day

Have a go at cyanotype print making, the original Victorian blue print, in this half-day introductory workshop. Taking inspiration from the garden and hedgerows around the farm, you’ll use seasonal plants and flowers to produce original prints.
All materials for producing a print will be provided on the day or foraged from our edible garden. If you have some flowers or leaves from your own garden or other interesting shaped items that you would like to work with, do bring them along.
At the end of the session you’ll take home your three or four small A6 prints and one larger A4 size print. They’ll look great on the wall at home!
Cyanotype print making needs plenty of sunlight so this course only takes place in the summer.
Enjoy a cup of tea or coffee while you learn about the history of cyanotype print making and get an insight into the technique.
Learn about composition and materials before starting to create your prints.
Experiment with exposure times and designs to create your prints.
You'll be able to discuss results and techniques throughout the course.
Fantastic course, thanks for your time and patience.

Can't wait to get my print up on the wall at home, thank you Ruth!
