Drawing from the sea – seaside cyanotypes

Join artist Lavinia HasLam and create your own sea-inspired cyanotype.

In this mindful session combining art and wellness, take a walk along the sea shore and engage with the soothing sound of the ocean. Collect small objects and materials that you feel drawn to, and engage with their texture, pattern, and how this makes you feel.

Back in the workshop space, you will receive a practical demonstration on how to make a cyanotype or sun print. You will then have an opportunity to make your own and develop it in the sunlight.
At the end of the session, we will have a chance to reflect as a group. You will also be able to take away the unique images that you created.

• Drinks and snacks will be provided. You will need to bring lunch with you.
• This session is suitable for adults and young people over 12yrs. All young people under 16yrs must be accompanied by an adult (see FAQ section for ticket details).

Safety notice
Sadly our beaches are not at their cleanest at the moment. We’ll therefore provide gloves, sanitiser and disinfectant for handling the objects that you collect.

Important access information
This activity will include walking to the beach and back.

The rest of the session is in the upstairs workshop space. We’re in the process of having a lift installed work should e complete by late August 2023.

It’s a single flight of 14 steps then you go around the corner and there are two small steps. Once you’re upstairs there’s a loo. You shouldn’t need to come downstairs for anything until the end of the event. If you can’t manage the stairs but really want to attend, please let us know using the questions that appear when you book your ticket and we will try to move the activity downstairs.
