Make magical art using the power of the sun!

Bring the whole family along to Beach Creative for a fun and welcoming series of cyanotype workshops with artist Emily Rose Parris from The Darkroom.

What is a cyanotype?
Cyanotype is one of the earliest forms of photography, known for its beautiful blue-and-white prints. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll place everyday objects like leaves, flowers, and shapes onto special light-sensitive paper. With a little sunshine and a splash of water, your designs will transform into stunning, one of a kind artworks.

Who is this workshop suited for?

Perfect for all ages, these relaxed sessions are a great way to get creative together, learn something new, and enjoy making art inspired by nature.

No experience needed – just bring your imagination!

What to bring
All materials are provided, but you’re very welcome to bring your own objects to make your artwork extra special. Ideas include:

  • Leaves
  • Small toys
  • Stencils
  • Simple shapes

Come along, get creative, and blend science and art together!

ART31

ART31 takes its name from Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of a Child, which states that ‘Children have the right to relax and play, and to join in a wide range of cultural, artistic and other recreational activities’.

ART31 is a vision created with, by, and for young people in Kent, championing the belief that all children and young people have an entitlement to access high quality arts and culture, to empower them to achieve their creative potential, and to genuinely engage young people as equal partners in any decision making that affects them.

The ART31 Youth Board is made up of young people from across Kent aged 13-25 who steer its governance, and influence policy and practice across the county and beyond, challenging the creative sector to examine existing ways of working and integrate young people into the core of their practice.
