Cyanotype Workshops

Reconnecting with your creativity

Come and explore the wonders of creativity and connect with your inner self in my studio in Mansfield, Ontario. My art studio is a place of refuge, creativity, and joy. I offer a variety of classes that will help you discover the artist within.

My proposal for the courses I offer goes beyond just discovering cyanotype; it is an invitation to explore your creativity with the support of wild plants, the sun, the air and the water and a deeper awareness of the world around you. I aim to provide the best possible environment—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—while you can truly connect with your creativity.

I'm passionate about sharing my knowledge and helping others explore their creativity.

Let's get started and unleash your inner artist!

Cyanotype Workshops, Mansfield, Ontario

Sun + Fun = Cyanotype Magic!

Perfect for curious kids!

What a wonderful workshop!
I had the privilege of teaching a cyanotype workshop for kids at South Simcoe Arts Council at FortyOne. Their enthusiasm and eagerness to learn made it a joy to share my knowledge. It was a beautiful reminder of the importance of taking time to play, experiment, and embrace our inner child!

Workshop Cyanotype on Fabric

Explore the art of sun printing on fabric! Stay tuned for our next workshop in Spring 2026.

Join me in Spring 2026 for another fun, hands-on workshop where you’ll learn how to create stunning blue-and-white prints using nothing more than sunlight, water, and natural elements.

In this session, you’ll learn how to create striking blue fabric prints using the historic cyanotype process—a photographic technique that uses sunlight (or UV light) to capture silhouettes of leaves, flowers, lace, and more.

You'll work directly on fabric, experimenting with composition, layering, and exposure to produce your own one-of-a-kind textile prints in rich Prussian blue. These botanical-inspired creations are perfect for wall art, patches, gift wrap, or incorporating into mixed media projects.

Whether you're new to cyanotype or looking to expand your creative skills, this workshop offers a fun and relaxing way to connect with nature and creativity.

Date and Time: To help me plan the upcoming workshop, please email me with the date and time that would work best for you to participate.
Location: My Art Studio in Mansfield, Ontario

Materials: will be provided.
