A Community in Print: Cyanotype Workshop

Explore, print, connect - a community cyanotype day at Ashton Court.



3 hours Class size 1 to 15 guests       £25

Spend a few unhurried hours at Ashton Court Estate, foraging botanicals from the grounds and turning them into your very own cyanotype prints. Powered by the sun (or a UV light box when the clouds roll in), it's a simple, instantly rewarding printmaking process that's perfect for first-timers.
You'll begin with a gentle walk through the estate, gathering leaves and flowers that catch your eye. Then you'll settle in to learn the cyanotype process from start to finish – coating your paper, arranging your finds and exposing your prints to reveal crisp botanical silhouettes in deep, dreamy blue.
It's a slow, screen-free and sensory session, ideal if you're looking to get outdoors, switch off and try something new in good company. No experience is needed, just a little curiosity and a willingness to experiment.
Everything's included:
  • All cyanotype materials, including treated paper, trays and extra botanicals if needed
  • A guided walk around the estate grounds
  • Step-by-step tuition throughout
You'll leave with several one-of-a-kind prints that capture the estate in leaf and petal – a lasting little piece of Ashton Court to frame, gift or keep close.
