'Reconnect with Cyanotype Printing'
at Suffolk Wildlife Trust - Carlton Marshes
Carlton Marshes Education Centre, Burnt Hill Lane, Lowestoft, Suffolk, NR33 8HU
I am so excited to be offered this opportunity to run this workshop in such a beautiful location working 'from the land, of the land'.
This camera less photographic process works with nature to produce ' magical' prints, carrying stories and memories of how and where they were found.
Using nature and creativity, Rachel aims to boost your wellbeing whilst learning a new technique and having fun!
Rachel will gently guide you on a short sensory walk around the reserve, where you will gather your finds. Once back at the centre you will discover through experimentation and play, how to create your own prints on a variety of papers and fabrics.
Small groups for person centred teaching to explore the creative process of Cyanotype printing.
No experience necessary, all materials supplied. To book please press the contact button to take you to the Suffolk Wildlife Trust website and Carlton Marshes booking page.
