Cyanotype Printmaking

Kids and teens aged 10 and up are invited to a vibrant, hands-on workshop with Joy Cook, exploring the cyanotype – a cameraless photographic process that uses sunlight to create stunning blue and white prints.

Using leaves, flowers, feathers, and insect-inspired objects, they’ll design their own nature-themed artworks to take home. Safe, non-toxic, and full of creativity, this workshop is a fun way to learn a traditional printmaking skill.

Bookings coming soon!

More information for parents/carers:

• Minimum age: 10 years.
• Children under 12 must be supervised by a parent or carer.
• Parents/carers of children 12–16 must remain at the museum nearby during the workshop.
