The Magic of Cyanotype & Skeleton Leaves!
truly unique and immersive craft experience where nature's artistry meets historical photographic processes. In this exciting new class, "Cyanotype & Skeleton Leaves," you'll embark on a journey of creative discovery, starting right here in my garden. We'll begin by foraging for a beautiful array of botanical specimens, from grasses, interesting leaves and beautiful flowers, each offering its own unique silhouette for our artistic endeavours. This hands-on exploration will connect you directly with the natural world, providing endless inspiration for your cyanotype creations.
But the magic doesn't stop there! You'll also learn the fascinating technique of creating your very own intricate skeleton leaves, transforming ordinary foliage into delicate, lace-like masterpieces. These ethereal forms, with their exquisite vein patterns, add an unparalleled layer of detail and artistry to cyanotype prints. Finally, we'll combine our foraged treasures and handmade skeleton leaves with the captivating cyanotype process, a historical photographic printing method that produces stunning Prussian blue prints using light. Get ready to unleash your creativity and leave with truly one-of-a-kind artworks that capture the beauty of nature in a completely new light.
What You Will Learn:
* The art of foraging for suitable botanical matter and understanding its characteristics for cyanotype printing.
Step-by-step techniques for creating delicate and beautiful skeleton leaves from various types of foliage.
