About this event

  • 4 hours

Welcome to the Cyanotype Your Garden Weeds, a workshop in celebration of No Mow May! Join me in Burnham-on-Crouch on Thu May 23 2024 at 10:00 AM for a fun and creative experience. In this full day workshop, we will create cyanotypes using some common Garden weeds and iron salts in the style of Anna Atkins cameraless photography from the 1840s.

You will create traditional prussian blue cyanotype prints including a beautiful book cover and some individual pages for your book that you can add to over time.

You will gain a new appreciation of the beauty and complexity of the weeds in your garden!

No prior experience is necessary, just bring your enthusiasm and creativity!

If you wish, you can bring a selection of your own plants to use, although I will have some available at the workshop. Interesting shaped leaves, (pressed or unpressed) work well. Nothing too thick or bigger than A4. Plants should be freshly picked and placed in a plastic bag to retain moisture. Allow plants to sit for a few minutes before bagging so that any bugs can depart.

Tea, coffee, herbal teas & biscuits will be available.
