A DAY FOR IMMERSIVE CREATIVE PRACTICE! TAKE SOME TIME out for YOURSELF! ART PRACTICE IS EXCELLENT SELF-CARE.

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, feathers, and/or pressed flowers to utilise in their cyanotype prints. All other materials and equipment will be provided.

Katie Alleva is a local visual artist and teacher who has developed her cyanotype practice over the past five years. Katie is a dynamic, creative facilitator with extensive visual art knowledge and experience as a teacher. Katie Alleva holds a Bachelor of Arts Honours (First Class 1A), a Bachelor of Secondary Education (Sec. Education), a Bachelor of Visual Arts, Certificate IV in Training & Assessment, and a Certificate IV in Small business management.

"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, and connected and leave with ideas buzzing around for further creative endeavours!!!"
