Catriona Gray is an artist and photographer who works primarily with 'analogue' photographic processes and teaches some wonderful alternative processes that will give you a break from the digital world! Currently running Cyanotype, Van Dyke Brown and Polaroid Lift workshops at a beautiful darkroom in Camden. All workshops are very hands on, you'll learn to coat paper with light-sensitive chemistry using a variety of brushes, collect flowers and leaves to make photograms or get your hands wet destroying instant film with hot water, ready to apply the gelatinous image to paper, wood, tile and other surfaces.

Cyanotype (vivid blue prints) and Van Dyke Brown (rich brown prints) are both 19th Century Victorian processes with incredibly varied results. Each print will be finished with your unique brush marks and can be toned in tea, coffee and wine to make your print warmer, cooler, richer or to change the colour dramatically.

Any level welcome, you can be a pro photographer or a complete novice! All materials and equipment are included. These workshops are great as a gift and perfect if it's something you want to do as a couple, a group of friends or even a work outing!
