On Friday 16th October 2-3pm, make art with your favourite plants and the sun!

In this workshop we will learn how to create cyanotype prints, which are a traditional method of photography that keeps the blueprint of placed objects after being exposed to the sun (UV light). Bring samples of your favourite plants or use the ones provided 🌱

If time allows, we will explore other ways of making prints with plants, such as leaf stamping!
