Cyanotype Blueprint workshop at Brothers Farm in Dorset

I’m pleased to say I’ll be teaching a Cyanotype blueprint workshop at the Flower Barn cafe at Brothers Farm near Wimborne in Dorset on Sunday 8th June from 1-30 - 3.30pm

Come and spend a relaxing couple of hours learning how to make cyanotypes by harnessing the power of the sun.   You’ll create a series of permanent blue prints on paper from local flora, fabrics and photographic negatives. By combining light sensitive chemicals and coating them onto paper you can create paper which when exposed to UV or sunlight turns from green to blue. Once washed out in water these becoming permanent vibrant prussian blue prints to keep and frame.

We’ll be making prints on paper but the techniques from the session can be used on fabric as well. You’ll have a chance to make a selection of prints and learn about other ways to tone and experiment with to vary the look of your prints.

 Combining art and science the process is easy to learn and suitable for beginners or those with experience. Once you’ve learnt the basics it’s also easy to carry on creating at home. All materials, aprons and gloves are provided, but you're advised to wear old clothes.

Participants need to be aged 14+ for this workshop

I can highly recommend the cafe if you want to get there early and treat yourself! https://www.brothersfarm.co.uk/
