SALA Festival | Cyanotype Printing with Ruth Schubert – Sunday 30 August
Sunday 30 August 2026 | 10am – 12pm
Step into one of photography’s earliest artistic processes and create your own stunning Prussian Blue prints during this hands-on SALA Festival workshop at Zema Estate.
Cyanotype is a simple yet fascinating photographic printing technique that uses sunlight to produce beautiful blue-and-white images. First developed in the 1840s, this timeless process remains popular with artists and makers for its striking results and creative possibilities.
During this interactive workshop, you’ll learn how to create your own cyanotype prints using natural objects and everyday materials. Bring along treasures such as feathers, leaves, flowers or pieces of old lace to create unique compositions that capture the intricate details of each object in rich shades of Prussian Blue.
No previous artistic experience is required, making this workshop perfect for beginners, curious creatives and anyone wanting to try something different. All prepared cyanotype paper is provided, and you’ll be guided through each step of the printing process as your designs are transformed by the power of sunlight.
Suitable for adults and children aged 10 years and over (children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian), this workshop offers a fun and memorable way to explore art, science and creativity together.
After the workshop, why not stay and enjoy everything Zema Estate has to offer? Relax with a complimentary wine tasting, browse our Cellar Door, or simply soak up the beautiful surroundings of Coonawarra.
