Introduction to Cyanotype Printmaking Workshop Reviews

5 Rating 9 Reviews
Read ClassBento UK Reviews

This is a fun activity in Camberwell, London

During this in-depth printmaking workshop, we will learn how to make cyanotype prints in my home studio in Camberwell. I've practised and taught many artistic techniques professionally -- out of all of them, I think cyanotyping is one of the most fun, accessible, and enjoyable.

It can be done in a very controlled environment (as we will do in the studio) or much more simply, with sunlight. Either way, the chemical processes involved create an incredibly intense blue which is so beautiful!

**Please note**
- This course is taught in my home studio, which is accessed via a steep loft staircase.
- If you have difficulty using stairs, I’d recommend you don’t book this session, but please contact me as I will be organising dates for more accessible workshops in an alternative location.
- We also have a cat, so this course may not be suitable if you have severe allergies.

Take home your own set of unique cyanotype prints and blotting paper, plus a host of new skills to try out again.

Thank you for such a lovely workshop, Tom, a really great way to spend our Sunday. Tom's experience with printing and other mark-making is what really made this workshop stand out for me. it was wonderful to have a new insight into what cyanotyping can be and the possibilities and variabilities that there are within the medium. there was so much more to the workshop than making our own prints. we painted, drew, scratched, collaged to added our own visual touches to the prints and it added a real excitement to the process. Tom was also incredibly generous with his resources, with showing us his own work and sending lots of follow-up info after as well. i will definitely take a lot of his teachings with me when i try and make some of my own work in the future!

An interesting and enjoyable workshop with a lovely instructor. I left with some great prints (if i say so myself!) and enough knowledge to start experimenting on my own.

Tom's Cyanotype class was really brilliant. A wonderful balance of informative printmaking history and guided practical cyanotype printing. Lots of opertunity to get creative and try lots of different teqniques with a wide selection of materials supplied from Tom's amazing loft art studio. We were kept in perfect homeostasis with delicious bisquits, great conversations and lots of tea :-) Highly recommend!!!!

Really enjoyed this class with Tom who was a fantastic and informative host and teacher. I learnt so much about the cyanotype process and was really pleased with the results. Would highly recommend the class to anyone regardless of their artistic ability as Tom was brilliant in his creative suggestions and generous with his time, expertise and patience.

Ditto to all of the reviews below, Tom is a brilliant teacher. I didn't come with any experience, or with any idea of what I wanted to create, and felt a little stuck when we started designing our own cyanotype print. Tom gave me just the right level of direction to spark my imagination, and the feedback I needed to ensure my print composition had some balance. I loved how much it absorbed me for the afternoon and would love to do it again. Thank you!

The teacher Tom was lovely and approachable and explained everything really clearly throughout the session. It was so much fun understanding the process and seeing the colours change after washing the paper! Nice small group. Great day overall - would recommend :)
