Inspired by the original Annie Atkins' blue and white images of flora and fauna from mid 18th century, create a selection of beautiful cyanotype prints.

This camera-less process uses a combination of iron salts and UV light to create the signature depth of blue. You will make several small cyanotype prints using a range of materials including, flowers, leaves, lace and printed imagery.

You will explore various ways to play with these objects to create stunning images onto cloth and paper that you are happy with and can take away for another project or simply frame as they are!

Please bring an apron as it can get messy. You are welcome to bring along some of your own materials.
