Cyanotype imagery, developed in the 19th century to document botanical specimens, is one of the oldest forms of photography. In this one-day workshop, Northern Rivers visual artist Katie Alleva will lead participants step by step through the fascinating technique of wet cyanotype printing, using objects from the natural world to create dreamy, beautiful images. The class will be inspired by the pioneering work of 19th-century botanist Anna Atkins, and participants will end the day with a series of cyanotype impressions on high-quality paper to take home.

Participants are to bring their own small selection of fresh foraged flowers, leaves, and/or pressed flowers to utilise in their cyanotype prints. All other materials and equipment will be provided. A shared nibbles and cheese platter will be offered to participants and a glass of wine/or cold non-alcoholic beverage. Please BYO lunch and water. There are many eateries close by, such as Mexican, Dominos, pub meals, cheese shop with amazing toasties, a French Patisserie, and you can buy cafe style food and good coffee on-site at the new M||Arts Precinct Coffee shop!

"My art workshops are not just about teaching you an art technique. They are embedded with encouraging a deeper connection to self and community. They promote self-compassion through understanding how unique mark-making is. That simply being your authentic self, is the most healing intention you can set for yourself as a creative. My workshops are designed to ignite the creative spark within you and for you to feel inspired, uplifted, connected and leave with ideas buzzing around for further creative endeavours!!!"
