You will experiment with a variety of flowers and leaves to make and take away between 6 and 10 striking ‘blue prints’ (cyanotypes) ranging in paper finish and size. You will also hand stitch your own printed cyanotype-cover sketchbook to takeaway.
In this workshop you will explore the process of cyanotypes, a cameraless form of photography where we will use the sunlight to capture silhouettes of different flowers and leaves. We'll compare the different affects you can create with opaque and translucent botanical objects, and see what interesting and playful results you get from layering. We will use our cyanotypes to hand stitch our own A6 note/sketchbook (to keep or give away!)
Everything you need is provided, just bring an apron and/or wear scruffs as the cyanotype chemicals – although completely safe – can stain fabrics. If you have some leaves and flower cuttings you would like to use, bring these along.
There is no minimum ability expected - anyone with an interest in the arts, printing and working with nature-based images are welcome.
Be aware that we will be working outside in the sunshine so come prepared and protected from the elements with sun cream and a hat. In the event of adverse weather, we will work inside using a light box.
There is no ‘formal’ break, but the workshop is very relaxed with opportunities for rest/time out throughout. Everyone is encouraged and supported to work at their own pace.
Artist bio:
The workshop is run by Zoe, a qualified and experienced art tutor currently teaching at a specialist arts university in Leeds. She also has a creative workshops venture called Short and Few which explores a range of analogue activities, including bookmaking, collage and paper arts, and lino printing.
Her background is in graphic design and typography, but over the years she has developed a deep interest in process-driven arts and hands-on analogue practices. She is a big believer in learning by doing and making mistakes as a form of enquiry, an ethos which underpins her teaching. Zöe loves the buzz of seeing what people make when they least expect it, and inspiring people to develop a curiosity for what the arts can be about. Cyanotypes really do feel like magic when you see the process unfold.
When attending a workshop you can receive 10% off within the Gallery Shop on the day of your session.
