Cyanotype Workshop Series
Join Marina Longo for a hands-on cyanotype printing workshop at St Margaret’s House! Whether you're completely new to cyanotype or looking to experiment with different materials, this is a chance to learn, create, and take home your own unique cyanotype.
Each session introduces you to the basics of this beautiful alternative photography process, from its history to the chemical magic behind it. You'll get to experiment with natural objects, textures, and sunlight (or UV light, if needed), discovering different ways to create one-of-a-kind cyanotypes.
No experience needed, just bring your creativity!
