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.
Below are some examples of work created by participants during my workshops:
here are some things my participants have said:
- "My experience of this afternoon was brilliant. I just found the while thing amazing. It was fascinating, surprising and really engaging."
- "It didn't feel performative. It was very free and personal."
- "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."
