WORKSHOP: Botanical Print T shirt - Cyanotype
Workshop Title: Botanical Print T Shirt - Cyanotype
Date: Saturday 11 July
Time: 1.00pm - 4.30pm
Tutor: Stephanie Norwood
Price: £60 p/p including your choice of T Shirt size and all materials.
For more information and to book: Please visit Stephanie’s website here.
Description: Experiment with cyanotype photography to create a botanical-printed t-shirt.
Use cyanotype printing to design your own nature-inspired t-shirt. These light-sensitive prints are incredibly fun to experiment with. They are also great for capturing intricate botanical forms such as flowers, leaves and grasses. Best of all, they can be used on fabric as well as paper, making it into wearable art!
In this workshop I will cover the steps of cyanotype printing on fabric.
I will show you how to:
• Mix and apply the sensitiser solution
• Select your botanical samples
• Compose your own custom design
• Prepare and expose your design to get a crisp, intricate print
• Develop your printed t-shirt We will work with pressed, dried and fresh botanical samples.
Prints will be made on 100% organic cotton t-shirts (prepared with sensitiser in advance due to drying time). We will also practice preparing and applying the sensitiser using paper and fabric samples, which you can take away to print at home.
What to expect
• 3.5 hour, half-day workshop
• Materials and equipment provided
• Tea and coffee
• Relaxed and welcoming environment
• Personalised tuition and help to design and create your custom t-shirt
What will I take away?
A cotton t-shirt (your choice of size). Printed using real botanical samples and cyanotype photography processes. Additional samples of cyanotype sensitised paper and fabric you have prepared.
Materials
• 100% Organic cotton t-shirt (women’s sizes 8 to 18 or men’s sizes XS to 5XL)
• Cyanotype sensitiser
• Pressed, dried and fresh botanical samples - leaves, flowers, grasses etc.
• Watercolour paper and cotton fabric samples
Cyanotype Technique
Cyanotype printing is a photographic technique often used to make botanical prints. You apply a light-sensitive chemical sensitiser to paper or fabric and place items on top. When sunlight (UV) shines on the sensitiser it turns blue, leaving a negative image of your object. Developed in 1842 by Sir John Herschel, the technique was quickly taken up by his friend and neighbour Anna Atkins. Anna was a botanist and one of the first female photographers. Over her lifetime, Anna used cyanotype to make hundreds of prints of seaweeds, ferns and flowering plants. Anna published what is considered to be the first book illustrated with photographs. Her work was incredible and intricate and still captures people’s imaginations today.
