Botanical Walk and Cyanotype Craft Workshops

About

As part of Time, Space and Empire, take inspiration from Jacqueline Bishop's work to explore women's relationship to nature. Experience a short poetry dance film by Cynthia Coady based on the experiences of black and brown women walking in Staffordshire. Take a creative walk with artist Daby Obiechfu and poet Gabriella Gay to collect botanical inspiration to make a cyanotype print on repurposed cotton. There'll be time for sewing and conversation at the 'Long Table'. No experience of sewing, embroidery or cyanotype printing needed.

Inspired by Jacqueline Bishop's new ceramic display we'll use recycled fabric, flora and photo negatives to create a cyanotype print in this drop-in workshop. Explore pattern and composition in this exciting process with artist and milliner Holly Johnson.
