🌿 Science Week: Make Your Own Cyanotype Print! 🧪

A creative science experience for kids and their grown-ups

To celebrate National Science Week, you're invited to join us for a hands-on cyanotype printing session—a beautiful blend of science, sunlight, and creativity!

In this guided workshop, you and your child will:

Collect leaves, flowers, and found objects from nature
Arrange them on specially coated cyanotype paper
Watch the magic happen as sunlight helps develop your one-of-a-kind blue-toned print

This process is completely child-safe and simple enough for little hands to take part in. Cyanotype is one of the earliest photographic printing methods—originally used to document botanical specimens—and it’s a wonderful way to explore chemistry and creativity at once!

Details:

Staff will guide you through each step, so no experience is needed
All materials are provided, including pre-treated cyanotype paper
Snacks and light catering included while you wait for your print to develop
Limited spots available – bookings essential

Come connect, create, and celebrate science with us in a relaxed and family-friendly environment.
