Patricia guides participants through the process step by step. Learn the basics of how to make a cyanotype print by mixing chemistry, coating paper, and developing the print using the sun or UV lamp.

Students create a series of 5 × 7-inch cyanotype artworks on watercolour paper using botanicals, natural forms, textures, and other objects. The finished pieces can be enjoyed as small works of art or transformed into unique, handmade greeting cards.

Includes demonstrations, hands-on practice, and individual guidance throughout the process:

  • How to coat paper with cyanotype solution

  • How to arrange botanicals and other objects to create compositions

  • How exposure time affects the final image

  • How to wash and finish cyanotype prints

Sumi-e is the century old art of painting using a brush, ink and thin rice-paper or washi. This course is suitable for all levels with the focus on techniques and on the Sumi-e vocabulary of strokes.

The artist depicts the essence of what he or she is trying to portray with as few brushstrokes as possible—simply and elegantly, but with strength in each line or shade.
