Dreaming in Blue - A Christmas Cyanotype Experience
The year-end season is a time for giving, gathering and celebrating. But sometimes, it can also feel like a never-ending list of things to do.
Between the shopping, planning, gatherings and getting everything ready for the festivities, when was the last time you gave yourself permission to simply slow down and actually enjoy some time for yourself in the run up to Christmas and the New Year?
This December, we’re inviting you to take a little breather with us.
🌿 A little time for yourself, a little room to create
Join the Slow Art Club for a cosy afternoon of cyanotype printing at a dreamy creative studio, for a gentle, hands-on introduction to cyanotype printing, an alternative photographic process that uses light to create beautiful blue-and-white prints.
For 2 hours, put aside the to-do lists and quiet the noise. Experiment with leaves, flowers, shapes and shadows, get curious, and enjoy the simple pleasure of making something with your hands.
There is no need to be artistic, and nothing needs to be perfect. Just come as you are, take your time, and see what unfolds. And since it is December, we might add a little Christmas twist to things just because!
☀️ What is cyanotype?
Cyanotype, also known as sun printing, is one of the earliest photographic printing processes. It uses light-sensitive materials and UV light to create beautiful blue-and-white images.
Objects such as leaves and flowers, or photographic negatives, are placed directly onto specially treated paper. When exposed to UV light and rinsed, the areas exposed to light develop into beautiful shades of blue, while the covered areas reveal lighter silhouettes and details.
Every print is unique, making cyanotype a lovely way to capture the beauty of nature and turn everyday materials into something special.
🎄What to expect this December
During this beginner-friendly session, you'll be guided through the process of creating your own cyanotype prints, from arranging your composition to revealing your finished artwork.
✨ Create A6 cyanotype prints on paper, using botanical materials, found objects or photographic negatives.
🌿 Experiment with light and shadows using leaves, flowers, photo negatives and other provided materials.
💙 Enjoy a mindful creative process in a relaxed, welcoming space, with no pressure to get things right.
🖼️ Take home an A5 floating photo frame, ready to showcase a favourite print from your session.
And because it’s the festive season, we’ll be exploring ways to turn your finished prints into thoughtful festive keepsakes such as greeting cards or personalised gift tags to accompany your presents or perhaps a framed print especially for your home.
All materials are provided. Simply arrive with an open mind and a little curiosity.
(🤍That said, there’s no pressure to go all festive if you don’t wish to, no pressure to conform, just come and enjoy the positive vibes and joy that comes from making something with your hands.)

🌼 A little pause before the year ends
As this will be our last workshop of the year, we’d love to spend one more afternoon creating with you before we wrap up 2026.
Perhaps this is your chance to make something for someone you love, discover a new creative hobby, or simply give yourself permission to do a little less and enjoy a little more.
Let’s end the year on a slower note, surrounded by creativity, little moments of joy and a touch of Prussian blue.
💙 Welcome to the Slow Art Club
We look forward to an afternoon of mindful artmaking with you soon.
