CYANOTYPE WORKSHOP WITH DAISY BOW

A cyanotype workshop is a hands-on, creative session where you’ll learn how to make striking blue-and-white prints using one of the earliest forms of photography.

This 19th-century process uses sunlight to develop images on paper, resulting in beautiful blue and white designs.

In this workshop, you’ll create your own artwork inspired by the museum’s rich textile heritage. We’ll be printing with needles, threads, scissors, yarn, and foraged or pressed flowers – weaving together the story of Victorian craft and the beauty of the natural world. You’ll watch as your designs transform into vivid, permanent prints you can take home and treasure.

This workshop is beginner-friendly, relaxing, and open to all – whether you’re a curious craft lover, a nature enthusiast, or simply looking for a mindful, creative experience.

PER PERSON £20.00
