About

Children aged 7-12 can join artist Elisa Jane Carmichael to make their own cyanotype print.

Children will use drawing and natural materials to create a composition on specially treated cyanotype fabric, and then observe their work transform through exposure to sunlight and water. Participants will leave the workshop with new art-making skills and their own print to take home.

While the cyanotypes are being exposed, the artist will also share a simple weaving technique with children.

Supervision by a parent or guardian is required. Ticket holders will receive a voucher for 10% off a purchase at the GOMA Bistro on workshop dates.

About the artist

Ngugi artist Elisa Jane Carmichael is the first exhibiting artist in the Art Box for Kids exhibition series on display at the Children's Art Centre.

She uses cyanotype printing to explore themes related to the natural world and her family’s connection to the land.
