Discover the art of cyanotype printing in this creative workshop for young adults. Guided by artist Florence Bennett, you will experiment with cyanotype processes through collaging found objects to create A5 prints. Then, once you are familiar with the technique, you will work with images of tokens from the Foundling Museum’s collection to create small brooches, reflecting on the sentimental and precious nature of the objects.
No need to stress about coming solo, there will be plenty of opportunities to connect with fellow attendees. This is your opportunity to take some time to craft, connect and self-express. What are you waiting for?
Spaces are limited, so make sure to book a ticket to secure your spot. This workshop is open to anyone aged 18–30 and no previous experience is required. This event will last around 3 hours.
Florence Bennett is a London-based artist working across cyanotype, textile sculpture and animation. Her practice centres on the relationship between people and objects, examining mementos, relics, tokens and heirlooms as intimate carriers of memory.
Using a mixture of personal and archival imagery, she explores objects that absorb, hold and outlive the emotions attached to them.
