Redeye's Snapshots are a series of skill sharing workshops, offering quick introductions to new creative ideas and techniques.
Join us for a 30 minute demonstration on Anthotypes from artist Tim Boddy!
Anthotypes, sometimes known as plant prints, are made by a cameraless photography process involving plant juice and the sun’s UV rays. The binding of these two components results in beautifully coloured, ghost-like impressions of plants. Tim will guide you through the materials needed, the process used, plant recommendations, how to crush up matter such as beetroot and spinach and how to ‘paint’ onto the paper.
This process only requires some plants and paper, making it not only an accessible way of printing, but also very environmentally-friendly. This fun, messy workshop is not one to miss!
