Made by sunlight - a cyanotype workshop

Learn the art of cyanotype with artist Ellen Schlobohm Join paper artist Ellen Schlobohm for a morning of slow-making and connecting with nature. You’ll learn about the art of cyanotypes, a camera-free photography technique, and merge science and art to create beautiful prints with distinctive blue hues. • Suitable for complete beginners yet enjoyable for those familiar with the medium. • Suitable for ages 16 plus. • All materials supplied including pre-coated papers. • A variety of items supplied to use to create your photograms including pressed flowers and plants, feathers and lace. • You are welcome to bring your own botanicals from home. • Plants can be used fresh but thinner, pressed specimens are recommended for the clearest prints. About the artist Ellen Schlobohm is a paper artist, printmaker and designer working on Kaurna Country. Using foraged plant material she creates cyanotype prints which explore the shapes and forms of nature and the way plants hold memories, connecting us to places and people. Ellen is passionate about community engagement and delights in sharing her skills with others through teaching workshops. This workshop is subsidised by the City of Tea Tree Gully to support access to high-quality arts experiences for our community. Photo by Connor Patterson.
