Cyanotype printing (Sun printing) Workshop with prof Leanne Dreyer
In hierdie werkswinkel sal ons speel met cyanotipe druk (ook bekend as sondruk), een van die oudste fotografiese drukmetodes, wat in onlangse jare populêr geword het as ‘n interessante kunsvorm.

Ons sal werk met borde wat met ‘n mengsel van son-sensitiewe chemikalieë geverf is. ‘n Verskeidenheid interessante gedroogde blare, kronkelige steggies, vere en ander op die natuur geïnspireerde voorwerpe sal beskikbaar wees om jou eie drukke te maak. Jy is ook welkom om jou eie voorwerpe saam te bring – die enigste voorwaardes is dat hulle droog, relatief dun, en op ‘n A4 sal pas.

Ons sal ons voorwerpe op die geverfde borde op ‘n interessante manier rangskik, hulle met glas / Perspex bedek om die voorwerpe op hul plek te hou, en dan ons kunswerke aan die sonlig blootstel. Ultraviolet strale sal reageer met die druk gedurende die kort blootstellingsduur, waarna ons ons drukke sal afspoel, en die mees ongelooflike blou skakerings op die ongemaskerde agtergrond sal sien ontstaan, terwyl dele van ons prente bedek deur ons biologiese voorwerpe wit sal bly.

Tydens daaropvolgende drukrondes sal ons sout en verskeie ander stowwe byvoeg om die interessante spesiale effekte wat op hierdie manier geskep kan word, te verken.

Alle vlakke is welkom. Hierdie werkswinkel is ontwerp vir diegene sonder enige voorafgaande kennis van die gebruik van cyanotipe.

Koste: R300 sal insluit:

• Toegang tot die Botaniese Tuin
• Interessante gedroogde blare, kronkelige steggies, vere en ander op die natuur geïnspireerde  voorwerpe
• Glas/Perspex bedekkings
• Alle materiale is ingesluit

Tyd: 10:00 – 13:00
Datum: Donderdag 12 Oktober

In this workshop we will play with cyanotype printing (also known as sun prints), one of the oldest photographic printing methods, that has gained popularity as an interesting art form in recent years.
We will work with sheets of cardboard that has been painted with a mixture of sun-sensitive chemicals. A variety of interesting dried leaves, twirly stems, feathers and other nature-inspired objects will be made available for making your very own prints. You are also welcome to bring own objects along – the only pre-requisites are that they should be dry, relatively thin, and fit onto an A4 sized sheet of paper.)
We will arrange our objects onto the painted sheets in an interesting way, cover them with glass / Perspex covers to hold the objects in place, and then expose our artworks to sunlight. Ultra-violet rays will react with the print during the short exposure time, whereafter we will wash our prints, and witness the most amazing hues of blue emerging on the unmasked background, while portions of our pictures covered by out biological objects will remain white.
During subsequent rounds of printing, we will add salt and diverse other substances to our prints to explore the interesting special effects can be created in this way.
All levels are welcome. This workshop is designed for those with no prior knowledge of using cyanotype.

Cost:  R300 will include:

• Entrance to the Botanical Garden
• Interesting dried leaves, twirly stems, feathers and other nature-inspired objects
• Glass/Perspex covers
• All materials are included

By dié werksessie deur die fynbos kunstenaar, Hermien van der Merwe, werk elke deelnemer op ’n tuisgemaakte gelliplaat om mooi, tekstuurryke kunsmonodrukke op papier te maak. Van plante, lap, kant, tou tot tydskrifte en meer word in die drukkersink geplaas om ’n monodruk van die tekstuur op die gelliplaat te maak. Daar word hoofsaaklik op vorm, kleur en komposisie gefokus om die beste produk te skep. Geen vorige ondervinding is nodig nie. Elke deelnemer gaan huis toe met ’n klein versameling pragtige, oorspronklike kunswerke. Alle kunsmateriale en gereedskap is ingesluit by die kaartjieprys.
 

At this workshop led by fynbos artist, Hermien van der Merwe, each participant will work on a homemade gelli plate to create beautiful, textured art monoprints on paper. Items such as plants, cloth, lace, rope, magazines and much more are placed in the printing ink to create a monoprint of the texture on the gelli plate. The focus is primarily on using shape, colour and composition to create the best product. No previous experience is necessary. Each participant will go home with a small collection of beautiful, original works of art! All art materials and tools are included in the ticket price.
