Art Masterclass: Cyanotype Nature Prints

Artist duo, Creative in Nature, will be introducing you to beautiful traditional printing processes of Cyanotype, Collagraph and Mono printing. In this workshop children will be guided to take inspiration by using natural forms to drive your expressive mark making.

Through experimentation produce, individual pieces on calico fabric and Lokta paper and follow the Cyanotype process of using exposure to UV light (sunlight)to make striking blue images.

For this workshop you do not need to have prior experience and all materials are provided.

Take home your beautiful nature creation and display.

Health and Safety: Please be aware that even though the processes we will be using for the workshop are at a low risk in regard to materials and chemicals used. We will be handling and using photographic chemicals, oil paints, acrylics and inks.
Please can we advise that you wear appropriate clothing for the event and also please let us know if you have any allergies that we should be aware of in regard to the use of such materials.
We will be providing aprons, latex and non-latex gloves for use if required. As part of the Cyanotype process, we will also be using UV (ultraviolet) lamps for exposures. The exposure area will be sperate from the main working areas to lessen the amount of contact time near the lamps.
If you have any concerns or requirements in regard to any of this information, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
