Did you know that botanist and photographer Anna Atkins used cyanotypes in 1843 to document British algae and ferns, making her work the first-ever photographically illustrated book?

Join local artist Ruth Liengaard in creating your own brilliant white on deep-blue print using pressed plants as stencils.  See the magic of the cyanotype process when the outline on the plant appears on your card following exposure to sun-light or UV. 

Ruth’s art is fostered by a love and sense of wonder towards the natural world, and furthered by a passion to bring out the creative potential in herself and others in a creative way. 

Timing of sessions to be booked, maximum 4 participants (including children) per session. This activity is not suitable for pre-school children, and all primary-school children must be accompanied by a responsible adult.  For older school-age children a responsible adult must be within easy reach.
