Beyond the Basics – Dive Deep into Cyanotype Printing

Earth Arts: Kinship Workshop

Take your cyanotype skills to the next level while exploring a deeper connection with plants, place and the more-than-human world.

In this relaxed, small-group workshop, I will share advanced cyanotype techniques alongside insights from my own art and science practice and years of working with plants and nature. We will explore cyanotype as more than a photographic process — as an opportunity to slow down, observe closely and create in dialogue with the natural world.

Inspired by the Earth Arts Kinship theme, we will consider how the plants and natural materials around us can become creative collaborators. Through gathering, observing, arranging and experimenting, you will be encouraged to notice the forms, textures and stories held within the materials we work with.

In this workshop you will:

Through this guided, hands-on experience, you will develop an advanced set of cyanotype skills and gain the confidence to continue experimenting at home.

Most importantly, the workshop invites you to slow down and look more closely at the natural world. By working directly with plants and other natural materials, we will explore cyanotype as a way of paying attention, building connection and creating with — rather than simply representing — nature.

Materials:

All materials are provided, including cyanotype supplies, paper, a calico bag, plant cuttings and found natural objects.
You are also welcome to bring a few small personal objects, jewellery or plant cuttings to incorporate into your work. Consider materials that have a connection or meaning for you, and that can safely be used in the cyanotype process.

What to bring:

Food and drinks:

Morning tea will be provided. Please bring your own lunch.
