- This event has passed.
Join us for a day of creativity inspired by nature!
Celebrate the beauty of the natural world with fun photography and printmaking activities for all ages – perfect for families.
Taking inspiration from our stunning garden and the organic forms featured in our newly displayed exhibitions, including: Masterpieces from Kenwood, Katherine Jones: Fine Ladies and Gentle Men, and Helaine Blumenfeld: Tree of Life, this workshop invites you to explore how nature shapes art.
Start by gathering leaves and flowers from Gainsborough’s House Garden, then use them to create beautiful cyanotypes. This magical, camera-free photographic technique—dating back to 1842—uses the power of the sun to produce striking blue images and encourages playful exploration of collage and composition.
You’ll also have the chance to turn your botanical finds into unique relief prints. Work alongside your child, try out new techniques together, and let them take the creative lead as you learn and make as a team.
Take a moment to slow down, connect with nature, and dive into the world of print and photography. We can’t wait to create with you!
