An exciting workshop that combines science and art 8+

Join us in Storiel on August the 5th for an interesting workshop with artist Harrie Fuller that will corespont to the exhibition Dros y Swnt (Exhibition displayed until the 20th of September)

Cyanotype, invented in 1842 is one of the earliest and simplest photographic methods. Cyanotype is a camera-less method which is achieved by laying objects onto paper that has been coated with a light sensitive solution. The paper is then exposed to UV light and washed out with water. Where the object has blocked light, the paper remains white whereas the area that has been exposed to UV becomes a bright Prussian blue.

During Harrie’s residency on Ynys Enlli, she ran thisworkshop using objects found around the island, some foraged by participantsand some previously collected by the artist. Weather dependant this workshop isran outside as ideally the UV from the sun is used as the exposure unit. In the event of poor weather, wewill use an alternative UV light source. Harrie will bringin objects to use, however participants are encouraged to collect their ownobjects too. Participants will go home with a variety of cyanotype photograms on paper.

On this course the artist will explain a bit about thehistory of the process, explain the chemistry and then create prints using pre-coated paper.

Beginner level and all ages welcome.  Family friendly workshop ,Suitablefor children 8+  

 Harrie Fuller is a fine artist and printmaker whose practice is informed by gathering objects, imagery and inspiration from daily life and adventures along the coast. She primarily uses analogue photography, print and drawing to translate these experiences into bold, colourful artwork. Harrie did a residency on Bardsey Island in July 2024.
