The power of nature in art.

If you've been bitten by the cyanotype bug then you'll be jumping around with excitement at the recent hot weather. Yesterday was the day. Bright, uninterrupted sunshine and a bag of cyanotype paper I'd prepared in hope and anticipation a few days ago. A long walk along the cliffs to forage for interesting items to print and I was ready. And the great bonus about this process is that while your artwork is developing in the sun you can just enjoy a coffee, sketch your cat or read a book. The final outcomes are often surprising and create artworks on their own - I incorporate them into collages and my paintings for added interest and texture. Now if you've never heard of cyanotype it's a very satisfying and addictive process of using sun-reactive chemicals to 'print'. We're running a course later this year - you can contact us here on our website to register interest.
