Cyanotype Workshop

This engaging workshop invites participants to explore the captivating cyanotype process directly, hands-only. Each person creates unique photographic impressions on fabric or paper using sunlight, water, and an array of natural materials. The emphasis is on embracing the unpredictability of the process rather than perfecting the outcome, fostering an environment that welcomes chance and encourages personal mark-making. Designed for beginners and experienced artists alike, the session promotes curiosity, playful experimentation, and creativity, while also offering tranquil moments for reflection and mindful focus. Participants leave with both new skills and meaningful creative experiences.
