Location: Breezeway (outside pottery studio) at 11 Maple Street, Cooroy.

*Please note the change of date from Saturday 3 October

Join local mixed media artist Sue Bradshaw for a hands-on workshop making cyanotype sunprints and collage. You’ll unite light, objects and paper to create a visual story.

A little back story - in the 19th century, cyanotype began as a method for creating blueprints, technical drawings, and botanical studies. As an alternate photographic process, it’s shaped by season, time and the quiet surprise of exposure. Known for its traditional blue colour, it can also be toned and bleached into different hues.

Open to all skill levels, this workshop invites you to bring small objects and images to weave into your story. If you are not sure where to begin, Sue will offer inspiration, guidance, and a range of examples to spark ideas.

By day’s end, each student will leave with a finished sunprint story of their own.

If you'd like to use a special photo in your collage, send us the image beforehand and we will create a high contrast transparency for you. Please email your image to info@cooroybutterfactory.com.au (at least a few days in advance). The picture must be high contrast black and white and in a printable jpg , png or PSD format.

All other materials supplied.

Tea and coffee provided (help yourself from CBFAC kitchen upon arrival).

BYO lunch.
