As part of my role as creative practitioner at Ton yr Ywen Primary school, I arranged for two groups of Y2 children to visit Cardiff Print Workshop as part of the Lead Creative Schools Project. As we have been using cyanotype printing to create banners and flags from drawings of the Welsh folk stories the children have been hearing from Lowri, I wanted to show them the magical cyanotype process, and let them have a go at making some pictures.
First they arranged a selection of objects onto the specially coated paper and we put them under the UV light for a few minutes.
When the pictures were ready, the children could watch them come magically to life in the water.
Voilà! The finished work.
