Cyanotype Workshop
2026-06-25 13:00 - 16:00 | Lanercost
Cyanotype Workshop with Thomas KeevilLanercost – exact location/venue to be confirmed. 1pm – 4pm£30 (includes all materials)
Join local photographer Thomas Keevil for a relaxed and creative afternoon exploring the beautiful art of cyanotype printing.
Cyanotype is an early photographic process that uses sunlight to create striking blue-and-white prints. Using natural materials like leaves, flowers, and found objects, you’ll learn how to compose your own designs and expose them to light to produce unique, one-of-a-kind images.
This hands-on workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as those with some creative experience. Thomas will guide you through each step of the process—from preparing your paper to developing your prints—so you can experiment freely and take home a collection of your own artwork.
All materials are provided—just bring your curiosity (and any small objects you’d like to experiment with).
A perfect way to slow down, connect with nature, and discover a magical photographic technique in a beautiful setting.
