Join us for a FREE printing session here at Swarthmore as part of Heritage Open Days.

Take inspiration from our archival exhibition and create your very own Blue Plaque print. You'll be carefully guided by Abbie Mooney in the different processes involved in Cyanotype printing and will leave with your own creation from the workshop, plus the knowhow to create your own at home.

NOTE - we are running the same workshop twice on one day - so please ensure you only book for one session as we want to give as many people the opportunity to try Cyanotype printing as possible

Join Jeannie in this beginners introduction to plaster carving. You will be guided in how to create a bas-relief. This means the piece you create has a flat back and a 3-D image that you have carved out, at the front.

You will be given a demonstration of how to use your tools and there will be examples of plaster work to inspire you.

You will draw your design onto the plaster in pencil before carving out your design.
