Cyanotype Workshop Part 2: Experimental Processes

Take your cyanotype practice further in this immersive 3-hour workshop designed for those who have already completed our introductory Cyanotype Workshop.

Building on the foundations of the historic sun-printing process, this advanced session explores more experimental techniques, layered compositions and alternative approaches to image-making. You'll deepen your understanding of the cyanotype process while pushing the medium in new and exciting directions.

Working with a range of materials and techniques, you'll explore how to create richer, more complex prints through layering, masking, wet cyanotype processes, toning, and chemical interventions. Along the way, you'll continue to experiment with substances such as vinegar, salt, turmeric and paprika, discovering how they can transform colour, texture and atmosphere within your work.

Leave with a unique collection of advanced cyanotype prints, a deeper understanding of the process, and plenty of inspiration for future projects.

Who it's for

People who have completed our first Cyanotype Workshop and would like to expand their skills through more advanced techniques and experimental processes.

Perfect for: Creative practitioners, returning cyanotype enthusiasts, printmakers, photographers, and anyone eager to push their cyanotype practice further.

Previous cyanotype experience is essential.

Ages 18+

Dates & Times

This workshop runs for 3 hours:

Saturday 29th August, 10am–1pm

What to Expect

During this relaxed and exploratory session, you will:

– Build upon the core cyanotype techniques introduced in Part 1
– Explore layered exposures and multi-stage compositions
– Experiment with wet cyanotype techniques and chemical interventions
– Use masking, stencils and object placement to create more complex imagery
– Investigate toning and colour-shifting processes using household substances
– Develop a series of personal, experimental cyanotype artworks
– Receive guidance and support while expanding your creative practice

By the end of the workshop, you'll leave with a collection of advanced cyanotype prints and the confidence to continue experimenting independently.

Facilitator

Beth Munro lives in SE Cornwall. She uses a diverse range of printing processes to reflect her love of the sea and what lies beneath, developing hybrid monotypes using both man-made and organic materials found on her local beach. The act of printing becomes a conversation between the physical process, the reveal and creative response. Beth enjoys collaborating with marine scientists, digital technology specialists and fellow creatives to explore our ability to make meaningful connections with the ocean.
