Student Session | After-hours Printmaking

Join us and artist Georgie Fay for a relaxing evening of cyanotype printmaking.

What does it mean to record the land? What happens when we use materials rather than words to take note, to remember, to learn? What might the sun reveal when it becomes a tool for making and marking?

Join us and artist Georgie Fay for a relaxing evening of cyanotype printmaking. Using The dead don’t go until we do as inspiration, we will learn how to create our own cyanotypes and then make prints exploring themes of home, community and abstract map making.

We will use drawing, mark making and local plants to create our prints. Please bring organic materials including leaves, sticks, rocks, seashells and anything in between!

All materials will be provided, but please wear clothes you do not mind getting a bit messy.

Spaces are limited, so if you can no longer attend, please cancel your ticket so someone else can take your place.
