Winter Camp 2026 (7 to 12 years): Cyanotype Printed Hoodies

This creative and hands-on workshop invites young artists to explore the magical process of cyanotype printing by creating their own wearable artwork on a hoodie. Using the distinctive blue-and-white cyanotype technique, participants will arrange leaves, flowers, silhouettes, and other objects to create unique compositions before exposing their designs to light. Children will experiment with pattern, layering, and negative space while discovering how light can be used as a creative tool in printmaking. Through guided experimentation, participants will combine photography-inspired processes, textile design, and fashion to transform a simple hoodie into a personalised piece of wearable art.

Why Choose This Workshop

It introduces children to the fascinating process of cyanotype through an experimental and hands-on activity. It combines printmaking, textile design, photography-inspired techniques, and fashion in one creative project. Each participant creates a unique wearable artwork based on their own arrangement of shapes, objects, and patterns.

What Participants Will Learn

The basic principles of cyanotype printing and how light exposure creates an image. How to experiment with composition, layering, pattern, silhouettes, and negative space. How printmaking techniques can be applied to textiles to create personalised wearable designs.
