Cyanotypes Workshop
Make magical art using the power of the sun!
Bring the whole family along to Beach Creative for a fun and welcoming series of cyanotype workshops with artist Emily Rose Parris from The Darkroom Creatives.
What is a cyanotype?
Cyanotype is one of the earliest forms of photography, known for its beautiful blue-and-white prints. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll place everyday objects like leaves, flowers, and shapes onto special light-sensitive paper. With a little sunshine and a splash of water, your designs will transform into stunning, one of a kind artworks.
Who is this workshop suited for?
Perfect for all ages, these relaxed sessions are a great way to get creative together, learn something new, and enjoy making art inspired by nature.
No experience needed – just bring your imagination!
What to bring
All materials are provided, but you’re very welcome to bring your own objects to make your artwork extra special. Ideas include:
- Leaves
- Small toys
- Stencils
- Simple shapes
Come along, get creative, and blend science and art together!
