Previous workshop participant’s experience:
My first cyanotype workshop with Renata was fantastic. I enjoyed every part of it.
The 3-hour workshop covered: information about the host, nicely blended with the nature of the cyanotype technique. The group was small enough to allow everyone to interact with one another during the workshop.
Renata explained every step of cyanotype including the history of the technique. Everything was delivered clearly. She also showed the before and after effects, which was encouraging.
