Join Indigo Studio artist Lisa Howard for a cyanotype workshop to learn the magical process of cyanotype sun printing.
This beautiful botanical art is fun and easy to learn, yet the results are stunning pieces of art that can be given as gifts, or kept for your own interior spaces.
This workshop will cover the basic techniques and processes, as well as some tricks of the trade, leaving you with all the skills to develop your own practice.
Lisa hand-makes a variety of light-sensitive papers for you to use in the session, and provides a wide range of plants, pressed flowers and feathers for you to print. Participants are encouraged to bring their own items too, making the prints more personal and unique.
Participants will each take home five prints.
This workshop is perfect to share with friends, family or a loved one.
All materials are provided, and no previous experience is necessary.
About the host…
Lisa Howard originally studied sculpture and photography, followed by a master’s degree in art history at University College London.
Lisa has had a 20 year career in the cultural and creative industries supporting the professional development of many talented people and spearheading programmes, such as the Big Draw aimed at broadening access to the arts and unlocking creativity. Lisa’s artistic practice is diverse but rooted in the idea of capturing natural forms through natural processes.
This includes sun printing methods such as cyanotype and lumen prints, monoprinting directly from the subject and tracing cast shadows in ink. Elements of these techniques are beyond the artist’s control and are therefore both creatively challenging and freeing, ensuring each artwork is unique and captures the process of making in the final form.
Lisa founded Indigo Studio in order to dedicate more time to developing her own artistic work but also as a means of sharing her extensive knowledge of creative techniques through a varied range of botanically inspired seasonal workshops that are accessible to all skill levels
