Learn how to make vivid blue prints through drawing, painting, and collage.
During this in-depth day workshop for adults we will learn how to make cyanotype prints in my home studio in Camberwell.
I've practised and taught many artistic techniques professionally - Out of all of them I think Cyanotyping is one of the most fun, accessible and enjoyable. It is also the way in which I currently make the majority of my professional work.
It can be done in a very controlled environment (as we will do, in the studio) or much more simply, with sunlight - Either way the chemical processes involved create an incredibly intense and beautiful blue.
During the workshop we will:
Settle into the space and learn the story of this fascinating technique
Mix cyanotype solution and coat paper, preparing it for exposure
Make our own paint and create our designs through drawing, painting, collage, or a combination of all three
Take a 45 minutes break (There is a cafe 10 minutes walk away, although you might want to bring some lunch)
Use the light box to expose, then wash our paper to reveal the final print.
Maximum 6 students (Adults)
10am-3pm
*Please note:
This course is taught in my home studio which is accessed via a steep loft staircase. If you struggle with stairs i’d recommend you don’t book this session, but please contact me as I will be organising dates for more accessible workshops in an alternative location.
We also have a Cat, so this course may not be suitable if you have severe allergies.
