About this Event
Cyanotype printing is a painterly, low-toxic way to produce unique photographic prints using light-sensitive cyanotype fluid, light, and water.
This one-day workshop includes an introduction to the history and science of cyanotypes, along with a hands-on exploration of the materials and techniques involved. Learn how to prepare paper or fabric, expose and develop images using both objects and photographic negatives, and experiment with methods such as wet-on-wet application and layered compositions.
Most materials and equipment will be provided including a range of materials and negatives to experiment with. Students are welcome to bring their own objects to use in the exposure process, e.g. flowers, leaves, utensils, semi-transparent materials, as well as any fabric to print onto.
At the end of the day everyone will have a series of prints to take home.
This course is suitable for all levels.

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.
