School Holidays
Nature Prints with Corina Muir

Join Corina Muir (Yorta Yorta, Boonwurrung) to explore the magic of cyanotype prints using found leaves and flowers.  Cyanotype is a rudimentary photographic process using the sun, silhouettes and simple, non-toxic chemicals to produce striking blue prints.  

Corina’s expertise in running her ethical and sustainable clothing label, “Amber Days”, will come to the fore as she guides kids’ through design and technique.  Kids will work with their feelings, expression, simple design principles and harmony with nature with a First Peoples’ perspective.

As the process takes some time to develop – we will also take the kids through a tour of our exhibition “Spirit of the Animals”, have lunch together and do a group meditation.

• All materials supplied.
• Please bring some pieces of nature from your garden or local park.  Leaves and flowers will work best.  They will need to be flat or able to be flattened.

• This is a workshop suitable for kids 5 – 15.

* Depending on the flow of the day, this workshop may conclude earlier than advertised.
