workshops by rebecca lattin

I'm a photographer and artist offering photographic and print based workshops. I work with young people and adults on a regular basis ranging from community groups, nurseries, schools, mum groups and charity organisations. I have an enhanced DBS.


Cyanotype is one of the oldest forms of photography. Objects or negative transparencies are placed on pre-treated paper or fabric and exposed to either sunlight or a UV lamp. Upon washing with water the outline of the image remains and you're left with a 'Prussian blue' print.

  • Bookmarks - with the option of scalloped edge and tassel.
  • Prints - a nature inspired print
  • Cards - nature inspired or themed such as Christmas, birthday, Mother's Day etc.
  • Fabric print - this could be done in one session to create a print or an additional session/s to embroider into the print.
  • Mini banners - as with the fabric this can include a further session/s to embroider.

camera based Photographic skills

  • Practical photography techniques to include DSLRs or phone based photography. This can be done over several sessions.
  • Phone photography - 'How to take better photos with your phone' / 'How to take better photos of your kids'
  • Editing techniques on your phone
  • Exploring lenses - clip on lenses (attach to phones/tablets) to look at wide angle, macro and fish eye photography.
  • A mindful photo walk with some simple techniques to try along the way (short input session first) with a scavenger hunt style. This can be tailored for simplicity/challenge.

  • "I like this sort of stuff because I'm doing something...my brain is focused on being creative."
  • "It was amazing to think in such a short time we could create this."
  • "Just seeing it through from concept to creation felt brilliant."
