Natural printmaking with Anna Stephens, Studio 10 Artist

During this workshop we will be making light sensitive emulsions and coating substrates to make photographic papers. Using botanical emulsions made from scratch during the workshop you will make colourful papers to take away and expose, as well as making your own Anthotype print during the workshop session. Learn about eco photography through this lo-fi, low-impact process, and discuss the lifetime of images; the prints can be archived away from light to preserve them, or displayed, gradually disappearing over time. This workshop is for 2 hours starting at 2pm and all children must be accompanied by an adult.
