Bell House

Join us to learn how to make cyanotype prints to take home

The Creative Arts Club is a new club for older adults which will take place once a month. Studies have proved that creativity is important for our health and well-being, as is environment and the company of others. The aims of this group are to bring these together: we will learn new creative skills, share stories and enjoy companionship in the beautiful setting that is Bell House, Dulwich.In this month’s workshop we will learn how to make cyanotype prints, also known as blueprints or photograms. There is something very ethereal about a cyanotype print, the simplest of objects can make a hauntingly beautiful image. Using sunlight, water, nature and your creativity, you will make prints and cards to take home having learnt a new skill.About the Artist/Workshop Leader:The session will be run by Sarah Wetherall, a local artist whose range is broad - from murals to miniatures she paints in a variety of media and styles. She is an experienced art tutor who runs classes and workshops for all ages, including at Dulwich Picture Gallery where she has worked for many years. Sarah has an allotment nearby and nature is increasingly at the heart of everything she does.

We are hoping to be able to gather some grasses from the garden but please feel free to bring any small interesting grasses, weeds, ferns that you might like to make your print from.TicketingTickets are £15 (including materials and refreshments) If you would like a half price bursary please email info@bellhouse.co.uk
