Workshop
Discover the magic of cyanotype; a beautiful photographic process that uses sunlight to create stunning Prussian blue images. Enjoy access to Fiona’s dried flower and leaf collection to create your very own botanical artworks using this magical process.
Join us for a relaxed, experimental 2-hour session where you’ll hear a little of the history of cyanotypes, follow a step-by-step demonstration of the process, and then have plenty of time to create your own cyanotypes.
During this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to arrange flowers, grasses and leaves to create your own unique botanical artworks. You’ll make between 4 and 8 small cyanotypes during this hands-on workshop, working completely at your own pace.

It's a great chance to try something new, spend time with friends, and take away beautiful pieces for your home or to share with loved ones.
You will be supported by Fiona throughout, who’s calm and friendly approach will give you confidence to experiment with this technique. Suitable for beginners as well as those with more experience.
● No previous experience is required, making this a great opportunity to enjoy trying a new creative process in a friendly and supportive environment.
● All materials and tools will be provided, along with an apron to protect your clothes. All you need to do is bring yourself ready for a little dose of creativity!
● Aprons are provided but the cyanotype solution will stain clothes (blue!) so please don’t wear anything you’re too precious about!
