This is an extension class for those wishing to expand their art practice. The workshop will consist of experimenting with the wet cyanotype technique, making wet cyanotype and cyanotypes using botanicals on a beautiful piece of hand made Kadhi round paper. We will investigate ways to utilise threads hand and machine stitching to embellish and add conceptually to the pieces. There will be a small booklet given to all participants demonstrating various techniques and Contemporary Visual Artists using threads and cyanotype.
Or bring your own cyanotypes and or items, pre-made negatives for printing (meaning it does not have to be botanical) and work on your own creative practice during the workshop and Katie will support and guide you. All material are provided. There will be an array of coloured threads, needles, thimbles scissors, etc. There will be one sewing machine. Feel free to bring your own supplies.
A DAY FOR IMMERSIVE CREATIVE PRACTICE! TAKE SOME TIME out for YOURSELF! ART PRACTICE IS EXCELLENT SELF-CARE.

Cyanotype is the “original” sun-printing process, one of the earliest photographic techniques. Discovered in 1842 and distinctive for producing rich, Prussian blue monochromatic prints, Cyanotype was popular well into the 20th century as an inexpensive method for reproducing photographs, documents, maps and plans (hence the enduring architectural term “blueprint”) and famously, for making impressions of biological specimens in the field (“photograms”).
