Liskeard & District Museum have a jam packed summer ahead of us this July and August with workshops from local artist Nicky Haywood, a visit from archaeologist Laura plus some fun filled workshops with our learning volunteer based on our learning boxes which are being prepped so that schools can once again use them.

The majority of our workshops are free however if you feel you can make a donation then this does go towards bringing you even more activities

Monday 11th August 2025 10:30-12:30

Drop in Cyanotype Workshop – Age 5+

Join us for a relaxed, creative drop-in cyanotype workshop with artist Nicky Harwood, where you’ll turn your own portrait drawings into striking blueprints using one of the oldest photographic printing techniques. Cyanotype uses UV light to create bold, beautiful prints in rich Prussian blue

Create your own portraits on the day and we’ll guide you through the process of preparing and exposing your image. This is a hands-on, playful session perfect for all ages and abilities. No experience needed, just curiosity!

All materials provided. Stay as long or as little as you like.

Come and explore the magic of cyanotype and leave with a unique print of your own making.
