Participants will discover the joy of cyanotype - one of the earliest forms of photography and create striking images using nothing more than sunlight and water. Working with botanicals gathered from the West Dean locality, this session invites you into a hands-on, sensory process that is as captivating today as it was when first developed in the 1840s.
This is a relaxed, stimulating creative session in good company. You will leave with a small selection of finished cyanotype cards and a lasting understanding of this extraordinary historical image-making technique.
