“Marina was warm, welcoming, patient, and present. I felt at home in the space, able to experiment freely and not afraid to ask questions along the way. The guidance was perfect and I enjoyed learning a short history of cyanotype as a medium – from practical use to artistic interpretation. Thanks for a new learning experience, and a beautiful series of work to take home and proudly display.”

About Marina:
Marina is a self-taught artist based in East London. Using cyanotype, she transforms her analogue photographs, often of travels, brutalist buildings and industrial structures, into original blue-toned prints. She's passionate about alternative photographic processes and loves experimenting with materials like paper, fabric, ceramics and more. You’ll often catch her at local art markets showing her latest blueprints, or running a workshop and getting others hooked on the magic of cyanotype.
She's always exploring new projects and ideas, and she cares deeply about making art accessible — through affordable workshops, DIY kits and hands-on events that invite people to slow down and create something unique.
