Bring your little ones along for a magical, hands-on printing workshop using the power of the sun! In this special family-friendly session, children will learn how to make cyanotypes
, beautiful blue-and-white prints made by placing objects on fabric and exposing them to sunlight.
Kids are invited to bring a small toy, leaf, flower, or any flat treasure from a garden or walk — something that tells a little story about them or where they live. These objects will be used to create their very own artwork, using a special light-sensitive fabric.
Each child will:
- Make a cyanotype print to take home, and
- Create a fabric square that will be added to a community quilt celebrating the people and places of Kingston upon Thames. (The final quilt will be assembled and displayed at a later date.)
Workshop Details:
- Designed especially for younger children
- Workshop times are 14:00, 15:00 and 16:00
- All children must be accompanied by a supervising adult for the duration of the workshop
- No experience needed, just curiosity and creativity!
- All materials provided
- Cost: £15 per child (includes materials and two take-home prints)
This gentle, creative activity is a lovely introduction to photography, art, and nature and a chance for children to leave their mark on a special collaborative artwork.
Can’t stay for the full one-hour workshop? No problem — drop in during the day and make a single fabric square to contribute to the quilt. Everyone is welcome to take part and leave their mark.
