Cyanotype Printing And Papercutting

Why not try something a little different this Christmas and give yourself a morning of mindful creativity?

Join wonderful local papercutting expert Dawn Thornhill, who's teamed up with cyanotype artist Camilla Leppard, to create a relaxing and creative half day workshop, where you’ll explore both the magical process of cyanotype printing and the beautiful art of papercutting.

Whether you're a beginner or have some experience, this friendly, hands-on session is perfect for everyone.

You'll learn how to craft intricate paper designs and create a stunning cyanotype print, using light to create rich, blue-toned images.

It’s a perfect way to unwind and tap into your creativity, and you'll leave with 2 beautiful, unique artworks that you’ve made yourself.

Throughout the class they’ll share their tips, techniques and skills so that you can continue experimenting and creating at home long after the workshop has finished.

No prior experience is necessary—just bring your curiosity and enjoy the process!

All materials are included to make two A4 prints, together with use of tools. We'll also provide lots of tea, coffee and home make cake to help your creativity along!

Please note that the class is not suitable for under 18s due to the sharp scalpels used.
