About this Event

These one-day advanced cyanotype courses are designed for students who already have some experience with cyanotypes and want to push the process further—technically, conceptually, and materially.

This session expands cyanotype beyond paper, exploring how the process behaves across textiles, objects, and unconventional materials.

Students will:

  • Work with a variety of fabrics and surfaces suitable for both functional and decorative outcomes.
  • Learn processes for printing onto materials such as cotton, canvas, denim and any other natural fabrics.
  • Explore applications for cushion covers, T-shirts, jeans, and create wall hangings.
  • Experiment with printing onto objects including glass, stone, and wood.
  • Use bleaching and dyeing techniques to alter tone, colour, and surface character.

Most materials will be provided including some sections of fabric to experiment with. Please bring fabrics to work on in the afternoon such as old jeans, t-shirts, bed sheets or cushion covers. They must be made from 100% natural fibres.

Nina Garstang studied her BA at University of Brighton & MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art in London where she received the Stanley Smith Scholarship. She is an interdisciplinary artist making in various mediums and materials. She makes and teaches one to one cyanotype workshops in her studio in Brighton. Where she paints, photographs the sea and collects ghost netting and plastics washed ashore after storms to make sculptural works. She exhibits nationally and internationally, highlights include ‘London Art’ fair in Chelsea, Scope in Miami and Paradise RCA in Milan. Nina’s solo show in the project space at Phoenix last year called Entangle explored the visceral and metaphorical experience of our relationship with the sea. She has paintings in public and private collections in London and Brighton, 6KB and Alex de Brye amongst others.
