Cyanotype Pencil Case Workshop
Times: 2.30pm - 4.00pm
Fabric Cyanotype Pencil Case / Makeup Bag Workshop with Artist Sea Shucksmith
Immerse yourself in the colourful world of cyanotype printing in this relaxed, hands‑on workshop led by artist Sea Shucksmith. In this relaxed, beginner-friendly session, you’ll explore the magic of sun‑printing on paper and textiles, learning how to create your own expressive designs using light‑sensitive paper and fabric dyes. This workshop is perfect for anyone curious about alternative photography, printmaking, or textile art.
You’ll begin by discovering how cyanotype works — from preparing materials to arranging your composition and exposing it to sunlight or UV light. Sea will guide you through each step as you experiment with traditional paper cyanotypes. Then, you’ll paint vibrant UV-sensitive fabric dyes onto a cotton pencil case or bag. No sewing needed as these are ready made for you – you can just enjoy exploring this fascinating and satisfying printmaking technique. Once your design has developed, Sea will finish the washing process for you. Pop back in an hour, or later in the festival, to pick up your one-of-a-kind cyanotype pencil case or makeup bag.
Suitable for ages 16+. All materials provided. Maximum 4 participants.
