Cyanotype Workshop with Alexandra Rose

Come spend a sunny morning making art with Alexandra Rose and learning the dreamy, blue-toned process of cyanotype. Using light-sensitive paper, a little sunlight, and natural objects like leaves, flowers, or anything you find inspiring, you’ll create beautiful one-of-a-kind prints in rich shades of indigo.⁠
⁠
Alexandra will guide you through the basics—no experience needed, just curiosity and a willingness to experiment. It’s a relaxed, hands-on session perfect for slowing down, getting creative, and making something magical with your own two hands. All materials are provided, and you’ll leave with a small collection of your own cyanotype prints. ⁠
