Discover the magic of cyanotype; a beautiful photographic process that uses sunlight to create stunning Prussian blue images. Enjoy access to Fiona’s dried flower and leaf collection to create your very own botanical artworks using this magical process.
Join us for a relaxed, experimental 2-hour session where you’ll hear a little of the history of cyanotypes, follow a step-by-step demonstration of the process, and then have plenty of time to create your own cyanotypes.
During this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to arrange flowers, grasses and leaves to create your own unique botanical artworks. You’ll make between 4 and 8 small cyanotypes during this hands-on workshop, working completely at your own pace. It's a great chance to try something new, spend time with friends, and take away beautiful pieces for your home or to share with loved ones.
You will be supported by Fiona throughout, who’s calm and friendly approach will give you confidence to experiment with this technique. Suitable for beginners as well as those with more experience.
● No previous experience is required, making this a great opportunity to enjoy trying a new creative process in a friendly and supportive environment.
● All materials and tools will be provided, along with an apron to protect your clothes. All you need to do is bring yourself ready for a little dose of creativity!
● Aprons are provided but the cyanotype solution will stain clothes (blue!) so please don’t wear anything you’re too precious about!
"Everything you want from a creative workshop; an expert teacher with the skills to explain and demonstrate the cyanotype process and plenty of time to experiment with the beautifully prepared flowers, grasses and leaves that Fiona provides. Complete creative joy from start to finish!"
Suitable for adults and children aged 12+. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Tickets are per person, not per family.

Brilliant. Such a creative time spent with some lovely people. I really enjoyed learning the cyanotype process and enjoyed the loads of opportunity to try different creative ideas with the art. I'll book again for sure.
This was such a brilliant workshop and great value for money. Fiona is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, supportive and brings genuine enthusiasm. We all produced some lovely pieces and had a thorough yet straight-forward introduction to the cyanotype process. I now feel able to try this out again at home and can’t wait to have a go using fabric and incorporating some embroidery with this too! Thank you so much, Fiona! We look forward to future workshops with you :-)
Fiona was excellent tutor. Great workshop, really good fun and a rewarding process. We had a lovely group.
Fiona was lovely, knowledgeable and encouraging. The workshop was long enough to experiment with different options with no rush to make 'the perfect piece'. A very enjoyable morning :)
Really straightforward guidance and support where needed. Excellent choice of dried plants and flowers which were a lot of fun to go through! Made a lot of prints considering the time frame which was great as well.
Super morning having a taster to cyanotype printing .Fiona took us through the process and then we got to have a go. Took home 6 prints I think are lovely Really enjoyed it .
