Cyanotype Workshop
DATE: 20 Feb, 2025TIME: 11:00 AM - 01:00 PM
Join artist Clare Breen for a free cyanotype workshop and introduction to her practice and the Flower Féilire project.
In this workshop Clare will introduce us to cyanotype printing, sometimes called sun-printing. It is one of the oldest photography techniques and the process works quickly in reaction to light, transforming images into beautiful blue prints.
Clare will demonstrate the process and will guide participants step-by-step through the making of a print. We will also be setting up a flower press for the Flower Féilire project, for the Crossmolina community to use going forward. Participants are encouraged to bring along any foliage they have already gathered to use in the workshop and to add to the flower press.
We’ll also discuss the Flower Féilire project and the creative possibilities for a large scale collaborative cyanotype artwork, which will record a year of wildflowers and plants in the region collected by members of the communities who live near or around Wild Nephin National Park - and how you and your community can join in.
All welcome!
FREE entry, no booking required.
