MartaA wonderful class! Magda is an amazing teacher. She offered great instruction, high quality products and I took home some beautiful cyanotype prints. I would like to do it again!
MarciAmazing activity. Really informative, fun and relaxing. A very calming activity that gave us some lovely art to display at home. Would recommend you bring some leaves of your own, though you will be provided with them. Thank you Magda.
Jay WeeksI loved this class, Magda was so knowledgeable and friendly, and the flow of the workshop was great. I found it really mesmerising arranging the leaves to get just the right design, and am confident to try this at home now!
LauraIt was a really great and relaxing Workshop and Magda was very helpful. She also added interest by telling us about her work and what she does so it made it a lovely creative day out
JaneMy husband and I had a wonderful time with Magda today. Cyanotype printing is really simple but completely magical - the process happens right before your eyes and is very dramatic. Magda gave us some interesting background on the cyanotype process and put it in context alongside similar techniques. She then walked us through creating our own prints, and we came away with some beautiful prints that are destined for the living room wall. Magda is a talented photographer and artist and we enjoyed seeing some of her work using other techniques while waiting for our prints to dry.
RobIt was a productive morning, played with different techniques in cyanotype printmaking. Magda is knowledgable and her work is really cool, will come back for other workshops. Thanks Magda! :)
Zan SumThis workshop is a wonderful blend of art, botanics and science. Magda is professional and personable and makes you feel very welcome in the session. She was very good at explaining the process to my children ages 9 and 11 and will provide as much support as you need or otherwise leave you to be independently creative. We really enjoyed the afternoon and left with some beautiful cyanotypes, thank you Magda! Thoroughly recommend!
E WongMagda’s introductory workshop to Cyanotype printing was a great fun experience! Magda was helpful and knowledgeable, explaining all the steps in detail and offering support and suggestions throughout the class. A great alternative workshop!
JenniferI had a great afternoon at Magda's studio in Soho. The studio is a small, lovely, quirky space filled with the camera's Magda uses to create her own beautiful work. She kicked off the course by explaining cyanotype printing and the process and materials (non toxic!) involved. She also explained some other types of printing and showed us various examples. After that, we spend the rest of the available time experimenting and creating 3 prints each that you get to take home. It was amazing to see how the prints turned out and really happy with the results. Can't wait to experiment at home!
AstridA super-relaxed evening learning an interesting technique! Magda really knows her stuff and kept us entertained in between prints with fascinating historical bits of early photography processes. I absolutely love the prints I came away with and have a hundred ideas for more that I’m keen to try! Would happily recommend this workshop for a creative night out.

EmmaMagda is knowledgeable and welcoming. It was great fun to experiment with cyanotype under her supervision!
SarahIt was my first time doing this kind of workshop- I have learned a lot about history of the process and now I can continue doing my own prints at home. Very informative and helpful teacher. I can definitely recommend!
BillyMagda was very informative and gentle and the class rocks. I loved it and cannot wait to attend another one of her classes. I was super proud of the piece I have created.
VittoriaSmall, class had a great time.Magda took her time explained everything, some beautiful dried flowers turned into some beautiful prints
JennyThis class is was great and Magda was lovely! We experimented on different fabrics and also made a tote.
MichelleReally interesting workshop, super cool to recreate a 19th century process on bits of fabric! Looking forward to the email which shows us how to create the solution at home so I can create prints on paper, scarves, cushions etc.!
SophieMagda is super knowledgable about the cyanotype process and lets you be hands on with creating your own from the beginning. She was also kind enough to talk to me about other styles of photography that she also does, so all in all it was a great history lesson!
MollyThis was a great workshop. Magda is very knowledgeable and made it easy to learn how to create cyanotypes. I really enjoyed it.
AnnaVery exciting! Lesson was very clear & the lecturer was very knowledgeable on art history & process.My enthusiasm in the arts has been renewed. Thank you!!
EarlThis was a really inspiring class. The cyanoprint technique is very accessible but we also learned about other historical methods, such as Daguerreotypes. Magda is very friendly and enthusiastic as well as knowledgeable and her work is just amazing. I don't live in London but I really hope to be able to do another workshop with her. My interest in photography has been rekindled!The venue is quirky and worth a visit in itself. It's nothing modern or glamorous, being a dark basement that seems very appropriate for a photography developing class. There's an interesting little bookshop above, as well as a tiny theatre. I now feel 100% confident to carry out my own cyanotype printing this summer!
MichelleVery enthusiastic and informative teaching. I came away with some decent prints and the knowledge of how to make my own.
MichelleThe workshop was so fun and great. Learnt a lot and made a lot of beautiful pieces! Recommend it very much!
