🌞 Bigger Kits = Bigger Possibilities

For the last few years, my cyanotype kits have stayed small - focused on postcard sized prints, which is perfect for getting started. But larger-scale projects are SO much more satisfying.

So I thought… why not share that joy?

Introducing the new larger cyanotype kits - designed for people who want to make bigger prints. Think your child’s toy cars, a large shoe, or even your hands.

Whether you're printing with your kids, having a creative afternoon with friends, or just craving some hands-on sunshine time, this is for you.

🌤️ The sun is out, the kits are in stock, and I’d love to hear what you make with them.

🌿 Thinking of Hosting a Workshop?

My workshops have had a little revamp — just like the website!

Whether you're planning a hen do, organising a kids’ party, curating events for a gallery or park, or wanting to learn something new: there’s now a whole page that breaks down the kinds of workshops I offer.

🌀 From printing pole dance heels (yes, really) to making toy car prints with three-year-olds, I’ve loved adapting cyanotype for all kinds of people and places.

🌸 I bring all the materials: including a big collection of pressed flowers
📚 The vibe is about appreciating the plants we share the world with
🎨 The result is always creative, reflective, and surprisingly joyful

This summer, I’ve ran a wholesome hen party workshop, collaborated with a charity organisation, and even flew to Lisbon to run a dreamy print session at Slink Studio.

🖼️ Come As You Really Are Exhibition News!

where: Blackburn Museum and Art Gallery

When: 05 July - 23rd August 2025

What: Exhibition celebrating hobbies across the UK, by Hetain Patel with Artangel

A little personal update: I was thrilled to have several of my cyanotype prints selected for Come As You Really Are, an exhibition at Blackburn Museum & Art Gallery as part of this year’s National Festival of Making.

Curated by Hetain Patel, the exhibition celebrates the creative magic of hobbyists and makers from all over the UK, from Spiderman suits stitched at kitchen tables to transforming cars turned art. It’s a joyful and powerful reflection on how we spend our time, what we make, and why we make it.

My partner and I travelled up for the opening, and it was so special to see my work alongside hundreds of incredible submissions. Honestly, it felt like a giant, tender love letter to creativity in all its forms.

If you’re curious about the show (or just want a reminder that your hobbies matter), you should check it out or soubmit some of your work as it’s only halfway through it’s two year project. Check out my Reel on Instagram
