Description

You will have the opportunity to experiment with materials (plants/various materials provided/ones you want to bring along) and templates, to create samples using a special cyanotype fabric. I will then guide you through using different stitches to embellish your designs. Once you have sampled, you can either continue to experiment or choose to make a finished piece. Teas, coffees and a salad lunch included (please let me know on booking if you have any allergies or special dietary requirements) Please note - access to the workshop is uneven and down two flights of steps. Did you know that Cyanotypes were invented by Hawkhurst based astronomer and chemist (among other things) John Herschel? He was friends with the family of the botanist and photographer Anna Atkins, who also lived nearby and she produced many beautiful botanical cyanotypes - she is often considered to be the first person to publish a book of photographic images…
