Happy Mondays: Create your own cyanotype prints (workshop)

3 October 2022, 7pm, Michael Pearson Boardroom, LSU

The Cyanotype, also known as a sun-print, is one of the earliest methods of photography famous for its Prussian blue colour. It is a photographic printing process using iron compounds that produces a dark (cyan) blue print.  Artist Kim Evans will guide you through this magical process. No experience is necessary and all materials will be provided – apart from the leaves and other natural items.

This is a process that embraces simplicity, requires no previous experience and is a great opportunity to spend time working with nature. It is also the perfect chance to unwind during your busy Freshers schedule, get to know our campus and chat to other students while making something to take away and keep.
