In this cyanotype workshop participants will make prints using uv sunlight. We will begin by teaching the process of how cyanotypes work, then through drawing, collating and arranging objects we will create imagery for the cyanotypes prints. Materials will be provided, however feel free to bring a couple of fun or friendly shapes from home to use in the printing process.
Cyanotype photography is a fun camera-less technique that involves arranging a layer of objects or images on paper coated in a solution prior to exposing it to uv light. When washed with water there are beautiful blue images left printed on the paper.
Kaya Fraser is a multi-disciplinary artist from Perth and is currently based in Glasgow. Kaya works with analogue photography, film, writing and sound to embrace collective memories within small communities. She has a background of socially engaged projects with Creative Dundee, Mount Stuart, Clifftop Projects, Gender Equality Perth and has a solo show with Collective Gallery later this year.
These sessions are appropriate for children from P1 to P7 i.e. kids who have just completed Primary 1, up to those going into Primary 7.
The actual cost per session is much higher than the given costs as we feel it is important to pay tutors according to Scottish Artist Union rates and provide access to quality materials and experiences. To ensure our holiday sessions are affordable during the school holidays, Birnam Arts subsidises this with further support from Creative Scotland.
We are offering the sessions on a Sliding Scale framework. Please be honest and pay what you can afford.
£4 | I have little to no disposable income
£8 | I have some disposable income

Sessions are held in the Visual Arts Studio from 10.30 til 12 noon. Children should be dressed in clothes they don't mind getting messy!
Permission forms will need to be completed and signed before attending. You can do this on the day, or download HERE and email to visualarts@birnamarts.com

The Birnam Book Festival Committee were so pleased with how the new facilities in the Auditorium added to an extremely professionally presented event. The lighting allowed us to create staging to match the country’s leading book festival events, such as we’ve seen in Edinburgh.
