Art Forms in Nature

Seaweed Cyanotype Workshop 

Guides: Rosalind Stockhall and Lindy Taverner.

The day starts with a guided walk on the Castle Rock Conservancy beach to gather samples of seaweed - a tapestry of choices for your cyanotype workshop.

Return to the Cape Point Mountain Getaway for warm beverages and seaweed snacks.

A presentation is given on the cyanotype process, followed by a demonstration.

Enjoy a delectable seaweed-inspired lunch after which we start creating.

The day will end with tea and chocolate brownies as we reflect on our playful creative process.
