Kids introduction to sun printing (cyanotype) with Kit Martin

Part of Summer Arts for Kids

12 August 2026
Introduction to sun printing (Cyanotype) 
 
Join artist Kit Martin for an introduction to the art of cyanotype, one of the earliest photographic processes, which creates beautiful prints without the use of a camera.
 
Using non-toxic light-sensitive chemicals, sunlight, and a variety of objects, you'll create striking blue-andwhite prints on paper. The number of prints you make depend on the strength of the sunshine on the day.
 
All materials, including specially prepared paper and a selection of objects for making exposures, will be provided. You're also welcome to bring your own flat items to experiment with, such as leaves and flowers, feathers, lace, stencils, or photographic negatives. We can also gather interesting natural materials from the garden to use in our prints.

Summer Arts for Kids’ school holiday sessions are back

Join us for our artist-led creative programme for children, running throughout the school holidays.

Each week, a different Lead Artist introduces children to new art forms, materials and ways of thinking creatively, encouraging them to express themselves freely in a joyful and supportive environment. In these child-centred, hands-on workshops, participants are invited to explore, experiment and play.

Each session begins with a gentle start to help everyone settle in. Parents and guardians are welcome to stay for as long as needed to ensure their child feels safe and confident in the space.

Places are limited to 10 children per session, allowing for a supportive and engaging experience for every participant. We offer these workshops on a Sliding Scale basis to help ensure accessibility for all families.

If your child has any access needs you would like to discuss ahead of the sessions, please get in touch at visualarts@birnamarts.com. We are happy to work with you to make the experience as welcoming and inclusive as possible.

The Birnam Book Festival Committee were so pleased with how the new facilities in the Auditorium added to an extremely professionally presented event. The lighting allowed us to create staging to match the country’s leading book festival events, such as we’ve seen in Edinburgh.

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.

I have enjoyed taking part in events such as Scots Opera before we came to live in the area. Since then we have enjoyed both attending events and the splendid cafe In the foyer. It is a brilliant example of a local/regional community arts initiative and must not be allowed to falter.
