I look forward to welcoming you to my studio to see my cyanotypes and digital photos. I am drawn to abstract photos and love blues and golds.
A selection of framed pictures, prints, cards, scarves, books and bags will be for sale.
I will have some paper prepared if visitors want to try a cyanotype themselves.

The cyanotype process was invented in the 1840s before the camera was invented. The chemicals are painted onto watercolour paper or fabric. If for example a leaf is placed on top and it is left in the sun, the leaf stays white and the rest goes blue. This is the origin of the word 'blueprint'.
I use mainly plant material for my cyanotypes, but have experimented with digital negatives as well. I experiment with adding turmeric, soap bubbles or paint amongst other things introduces some colour and texture.
