• 5/5 from Femke Withag, attended Mar 2024: My friend and I joined Canberra artist Julie Ryder for a fun cyanotype workshop today. We used a variety of materials and different types of paper to create exciting blue and white artworks inspired by nature, using the sun as our light source. Julie explained the process really well and also talked about English botanist and photographer Anna Atkins (1799-1871) who pioneered this technique! I highly recommend this class as an introduction and next time I would book a longer one. Check out Julie’s website too: she’s a magnificent artist with a beautiful body of work.
• 4/5 from Julie Hamilton, attended Mar 2024: Julie is a very knowledgeable and welcoming teacher. Her studio is a lovely, inspiring space for the workshop and there was plenty of room for the small group of 7. She had everything set up including an artificial light source to combat the overcast day. We did 4 cyanotypes each, with helpful tips and guidance from Julie as we went. People who like to learn by doing will appreciate the chance to experiment with different paper types. The class was a good introduction to the simple but amazing art of cyanotype printing. Would definitely recommend this workshop.
