Cyanotype & Anthotype Botanical Printing - Thursday 27th August:

Botanical Impressions Workshop 3 : Cyanotype & Anthotype Botanical Printing

Date: Thursday 27th August

Time: 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM

Celebrate nature, light, and time in this hands-on workshop exploring cyanotype and anthotype printing, two historic, camera-free techniques that use sunlight and plants to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind prints on paper and fabric.

You’ll learn how to create deep blue cyanotypes using UV-sensitive chemicals, natural materials like leaves and lace, and sunlight. You’ll also explore anthotypes, a gentler, slower method using plant-based emulsions (like turmeric or beetroot juice) to make delicate images with the help of sunshine and patience.

This workshop includes:

1. A live cyanotype demo and print sessions.
2. A demonstration on making anthotype emulsion from plant pigments.
3. Time to create your own cyanotype prints and begin anthotype exposures.
4. All materials are provided, and we’ll pause mid-morning for tea, coffee, and homemade scones.
