Cyanotypes with Sam Atkins

Join us for an engaging and creative cyanotype workshop led by the talented artist Sam Atkins. This workshop is designed for individuals of all skill levels, whether you are a complete beginner or have some experience with alternative photographic processes.

You'll discover the history of cyanotypes and photograms, experiment with UV exposure, and create your own stunning Prussian blue prints using objects, plants and textures.

During the session, you'll also learn the chemistry behind cyanotype, mix your own solution, coat paper, and make original prints.

You’ll leave with:

• your own cyanotype chemistry kit

• sponge brush + coated papers

• Perspex printing sheet

• your finished prints

• a Not Quite North Sun Printer Certificate

No experience needed - just curiosity and a love of analogue magic.

All necessary materials will be provided, including sensitized paper, various objects for exposure, and tools for developing prints. However you are more than welcome to bring your own items to experiment with, such as leaves, flowers or lace to create truly unique works of art.

This cyanotype workshop with Sam Atkins promises not only to be an educational experience but also a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow art enthusiasts and explore the beauty of this timeless photographic technique.

Don’t miss out on the chance to immerse yourself in the world of cyanotype and take home your own stunning creations!
