Hello there, fellow art and nature enthusiasts!
Have you ever wanted to capture the magic of nature in a unique and timeless way?
Join me, Daniela from Blueschein Printshed, for a captivating Cyanotype Printing Workshop at the welcoming Corbett Community Library on May 21st, 2025, from 12:30 to 2 pm. Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of cyanotype, a truly historic photographic process dating back to its invention by Sir John Herschel in 1842. Made famous by the pioneering botanist Anna Atkins, who used it to create stunning photograms of algae. Cyanotype allows you to create beautiful Prussian blue prints using the power of the sun. This gentle and mindful activity encourages us to step outside, connect with the beauty of our surroundings, and transform foraged leaves, flowers, and other interesting objects into unique works of art.
This workshop offers a wonderful opportunity to learn a new skill in a relaxed and friendly environment at the heart of your community. You'll not only discover the simple yet enchanting process of cyanotype printing but also connect with like-minded individuals. Imagine the satisfaction of creating your very own piece of blue botanical art to take home – a tangible memory of your creative exploration. While the workshop is free, your kind donations will help support future events run by Blueschein Printshed at the Corbett Community Library. Come and unlock your inner artist and the alchemical magic of sunlight and nature!
