In this cyanotype workshop participants will make prints using uv sunlight. We will begin by teaching the process of how cyanotypes work, then through drawing, collating and arranging objects we will create imagery for the cyanotypes prints. Materials will be provided, however feel free to bring a couple of fun or friendly shapes from home to use in the printing process.
Cyanotype photography is a fun camera-less technique that involves arranging a layer of objects or images on paper coated in a solution prior to exposing it to uv light. When washed with water there are beautiful blue images left printed on the paper.
Kaya Fraser is a multi-disciplinary artist from Perth and is currently based in Glasgow. Kaya works with analogue photography, film, writing and sound to embrace collective memories within small communities. She has a background of socially engaged projects with Creative Dundee, Mount Stuart, Clifftop Projects, Gender Equality Perth and has a solo show with Collective Gallery later this year.
These sessions are appropriate for children from P1 to P7 i.e. kids who have just completed Primary 1, up to those going into Primary 7.
The actual cost per session is much higher than the given costs as we feel it is important to pay tutors according to Scottish Artist Union rates and provide access to quality materials and experiences. To ensure our holiday sessions are affordable during the school holidays, Birnam Arts subsidises this with further support from Creative Scotland.
We are offering the sessions on a Sliding Scale framework. Please be honest and pay what you can afford.
£4 | I have little to no disposable income
£8 | I have some disposable income
£12 | I have a comfortable level of disposable income
Sessions are held in the Visual Arts Studio from 10.30 til 12 noon. Children should be dressed in clothes they don't mind getting messy!
Permission forms will need to be completed and signed before attending. You can do this on the day, or download HERE and email to visualarts@birnamarts.com

This is a lovely light and welcoming building with a cafe and library during the day and some really excellent concerts and shows of all genres mostly in the evening. It's an intimate space but with capacity for several hundred people and tends to be competitively priced. It relies on volunteer support and is an excellent community hub.

Welcome to Birnam Arts, a boutique multi-purpose arts, conferencing and entertainment venue.
Pop in to the Foyer Cafe for breakfast, grab a delicious coffee with a selection of our homemade baking or enjoy a light lunch whilst browsing on the free WiFi. Wander upstairs to view the latest of our monthly art exhibitions before visiting the world of Beatrix Potter, or the Gift Shop to purchase a special gift for your loved ones or yourself!
What a warm and lovely welcome for this Yorkshire author. Thank you. Birnam Book Festival, author

My alternative office, my morning cup of coffee, the place where we run our workshops, meet friends, come to concerts ... Without Birnam Arts our community would lose a bit of its soul.
