*Blueprints Workshop information:
This Workshop begins by giving a brief historical and cultural insight into Cyanotype, a Victorian reproduction technique developed in the 1840s. Gaining inspiration from time spent in the unique gardens at Nant-y-Bedd, the group will use seasonal flora to produce a variety of original Blueprints to take home.
You will be creating your own Blueprints using the Cyanotype printing technique. Following an introduction to the gardens at Nant-y-Bedd, a session will be spent foraging for plant material to provide inspiration for Printmaking. Returning to the Garden Room, you will undertake a basic practical introduction to the technique, and then you will produce a variety of original Blueprints to take away with you. This Workshop will be equally suitable for those with no Printmaking experience and those who are Creative Practitioners.
A non-refundable deposit of £110.00 will be taken on booking.
