MTU Events

The first morning will explore the use of extracts from photo sensitive plants to make emulsions to expose images on paper or textile. The participants will prepare surfaces to bring home for long term exposures. Participants will also learn the process of cyanotype printing learning about how to expose with objects and with negatives. We will look at a variety of methods to create negatives.

The first afternoon will involve a nature walk giving the opportunity to connect with nature through looking and listening and also through creative responses.

On day two Ashleigh will guide participants to tone cyanotypes using natural toners. Participants will learn about using a range of plants to create inks and learn about altering colours with ph.
