Cyanotype Workshop with Dr Renata Buziak

Discover the captivating world of cyanotype, a historic camera-less photographic process that uses sunlight to create beautiful blue prints.

Join Brisbane-based photo-media artist Dr Renata Buziak for a hands-on workshop exploring this fascinating technique. Using plants and found objects, you'll experiment with light, composition and natural materials to create your own unique cyanotype artworks.

During this intimate two-hour workshop, you'll learn about the history of cyanotype and explore coating, developing and fixing techniques. You'll create three pieces to take home: a cyanotype print on paper, a print on cotton fabric and a botanical bookmark inspired by Sandgate's local character and heritage.

Dr Renata Buziak is an accomplished artist, researcher and educator whose practice explores the intersections of art, science and nature. Her workshops encourage experimentation, discovery and an appreciation of traditional photographic craftsmanship.

Presented as part of the inaugural Heritage Hands Festival: Sandgate, this workshop celebrates the enduring value of handmade skills and creative knowledge.

No previous experience is necessary, and all materials are included. With a maximum of just 10 participants, there will be plenty of opportunity for individual guidance.

Bookings essential. Limited places available.
