About this Event
Learn about plants and printmaking along the Grand Union Canal (families)
Join us for a fun and engaging morning learning about the plants that grow along London’s canals. We will spend some time exploring the canalside, where you and your family can have a go at identifying plants with the help of a hand out and guidance from the workshop leader. You will then be shown how to make cyanotype prints using cuttings of plants from along the canal and you will get to make your own prints that you can take home with you.
We will be outside for most of the session so we recommend bringing rain coats and sturdy shoes.
This is a session for family groups. Suitable for children 5+. All children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
