Try your hand at cyanotype printing in this creative class in London, where you’ll use the power of sunlight to develop your very own photographic prints! This traditional method of printing captures the beauty of natural objects and designs in striking blue tones, giving you the chance to experiment with paper, objects and collage.
This class is all about creativity and exploration -- perfect for complete beginners! Guided step by step, you’ll learn how to prepare surfaces with cyanotype solution, experiment with timings, and use found objects, lettering, and digital negatives to create unique contact prints.
What to expect:
  • Learn how to mix and apply cyanotype solutions to paper, fabric, and other surfaces.
  • Experiment with creating images using natural objects, stencils, and negatives.
  • Try both outdoor sunlight exposure and an indoor UV light source for all-weather printing (depending on the time of year!)
  • Make a set of A5 cyanotype prints to take home.
By the end of the class, you’ll not only have a beautiful collection of cyanotype art but also the skills to keep experimenting with this timeless photographic process at home.
Good to know: For private classes, there is a £300 surcharge for groups.

Hi, my name is Claire, and I’m an artist/crafter/designer based in NW London. I run ‘Dotty by design’ making unique and bespoke hand-made products. I have been up-cycling for two decades now, and sharing my love for all things ‘craft’ through teaching and running classes. Creativity is at the heart of all the projects I work on, harnessing the joy in the making process and sharing my passion of ‘re-using, recycling and sustaining’ in everything I do.
I studied Furniture and Product design at BCUC in High Wycombe before moving to West London and working at Habitat, where my love of design had first evolved when visiting the store as a child. Since those early years, I have been on a creative journey which has encompassed all areas of art and design, including - product, craft, interiors, architecture, food, jewellery, illustration and printmaking to name but a few!
I am very much a multidisciplinary designer, where a balance of form and function is key to creating engaging sustainable products that have a conscience, and considered thought for the beautiful planet we live on.
