Discover the magic of sunshine and create your own beautiful blue artwork!
Join photographic artist Dean Leivers for a fun, hands-on workshop inspired by one of the world's earliest photographic processes. First, you'll head outdoors to forage for natural treasures such as leaves, grasses, flowers and other interesting shapes to use in your design.
Back in the workshop, you'll arrange your collected finds onto specially prepared light-sensitive paper before letting the power of the sun work its magic. Watch as your unique artwork develops into a stunning blue-and-white print to take home.
Along the way, you'll discover the fascinating history of Cyanotype printing and learn how this historic photographic technique continues to inspire artists today.
Perfect for curious children and creative adults alike – every print is completely unique!
