About

About the Workshop

Join us for our creative Beginner’s Cyanotype Workshop where you’ll dive into the beautiful world of sun printing. This hands-on, 3-hour session will guide you through the process of creating stunning, one-of-a-kind prints using our hand coated light-sensitive paper.

You’ll start by learning the basics of cyanotype printing, including how to prepare your materials, arrange natural objects like flowers, leaves, and other objects, and expose your prints to sunlight or UV light to reveal the final design.

Throughout the workshop, you’ll receive personalised guidance and be shown creative ways to experiment with textures and layers to make your prints truly unique. All materials, including foliage and printing tools, are provided – so you can jump straight into the creative process.

Expect a relaxed, inspiring atmosphere where you’ll have plenty of time to create your own prints, ask questions, and receive helpful tips. There will be time for a short break, with refreshments provided, so you can relax and socialise while your prints are developing. By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with your own collection of beautiful prints and the knowledge to continue exploring cyanotype printing at home.

HELPFUL STUFF

Practical Information

EQUIPMENT

You don’t need to bring anything with you, as all materials will be provided. However, if you’d like to take notes or jot down ideas, feel free to bring a notepad and pen. Everything else will be ready for you when you arrive!

WHAT TO DON

Please wear clothes that you don’t mind getting a little messy, as we will be working with a photographic emulsion that could potentially stain. While aprons will be provided, it’s always best to come prepared with clothing you aren’t too precious about, just in case. Comfortable shoes are also a must, as you’ll be standing and moving around during the workshop. This will help ensure you can fully enjoy the creative process without worrying about any accidental splashes!

QUESTIONS

If you have any specific requirements or questions before the workshop, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I’m happy to help and ensure you have everything you need to make the experience enjoyable and comfortable. Feel free to get in touch!

CANCELLATION

As the workshops are run with a small number of participants to ensure a personalised experience, we are unable to offer refunds. However, if you’re unable to attend, you may be able to transfer your booking to a future date. Please reach out to me as soon as possible if you need to make any changes, and I’ll do my best to accommodate you!
