The cyanotype process is fantastic for sparking your creativity and engaging with your surroundings.
In this workshop you’ll be using sunshine to make your postcards.
Cyanotype is a relatively simple photographic process that requires easily accessible and cheap chemicals.
Once you’ve mixed up your cyanotype solution you can head outside for a walk to start collecting materials to use with your cyanotypes or to inspire the writing on your postcards.
The cyanotype process gives us an excuse to stop, and be still, and to just sit and think while the cyanotype slowly changes colour.
About Scarlett Rebecca
I’m an artist and printmaker based in North Wales.
As I work from home I find it is incredibly important for my mental health to get outside as much as possible; to escape the workplace, to change my perspective and to just get some fresh air and vitamin D.
I don’t often create landscape artwork, I’m terrible at drawing landscapes, but I find making cyanotypes a great way to use parts of the landscape itself to inspire a print.
