Looking for unique things to do in Canberra? Join artist Julie Ryder in an introduction to the cyanotype process - a fun way of creating photographs without a camera!
Commencing with a brief history of the technique and the woman who pioneered it, we will then use a variety of natural and man-made materials to create unique blueprints inspired by our natural environment, using the sun as our light source.
This express two-hour class gives you the opportunity to try the photogram technique using pressed leaves, flowers, seaweeds, grasses and seeds as well as exploring photo negatives. These prints are revealed by the sun to produce classic blue and white images.
You will experiment with this hands-on method using two to three paper prints before working on your DIY fabric project in an embroidery hoop to frame and display proudly in your home!
Please note that a minimum of 5 people are required to run this workshop. In the event that number is not reached 2 days prior to the workshop it will be cancelled.
Knowledge required
This express workshop is for complete beginners who want to have a go at the cyanotype process. It is a fun and informative class to do by yourself, to do with a friend or to gift to someone special.
 
What you'll get
You will get three to four paper prints to take home.
 
What to bring
Parts of this workshop will be held outdoors, so remember to wear sunscreen and bring a hat. All other materials will be provided. As we use the sun to expose our prints, in the event of rain this workshop will have to be cancelled at short notice.

Julie Ryder is a Canberra-based textile designer who has gained national and international recognition for her work. She is a practising textile artist, designer and educator. Originally trained in science, Julie retrained as a textile designer at Melbourne Institute of Textiles and started her own design studio focussing on designing and hand-printing fabrics for home-wares, fashion and interiors. She complete a Master of Arts (Visual Arts - Textiles) at ANU in 2004.
Her hybrid practice combines her knowledge of science with her love of textiles, and she uses nature as both a muse and a co-collaborator. Natural materials are used for dyes and as materials for paper-based artworks.
Arts residencies at the Australian National Botanic Gardens, CSIRO, the National Museum of Australia, Rimbun Dahan, Hill End, Bundanon, Ireland, Iceland and Canada have all inspired continued research and produced significant bodies of work.
