RETURNING & NEW PARTICIPANTS…
Join us for the 3rd of our unique creative ecology workshops, exploring one of the earliest forms of photography using sunlight and nature.

You will head out for the last time on a slow, guided woodland walk using the upgraded, handmade cyanotype “cameras” to create beautiful light images inspired by the world around us. Along the way, you’ll think about how trees and other living things experience the environment differently and take time to observe the shapes, structures and patterns of native UK plants and wildlife.

Back at base, we’ll develop our cyanotype prints and complete work on the large, community artwork.

Session Schedule:
10am–10:30am – Introduction and camera demonstration
10:30am onwards – Guided cyanotype photography walk
11:30–2pm - Develop prints and complete the community artwork (started in session 2)
BREAK FOR LUNCH 12:15 - 12:45
