Brilliance in Blue
Botanical Cyanotypes
Brilliance in Blue
Ruth discovered her passion for cyanotype after learning about blueprints. Drawn to the eco-friendly process, which uses UV light and water, she began experimenting with different chemicals, materials, and exposure times. Ruth collects botanicals from her walks in rural Northamptonshire, preserving them to create unique, nature-inspired prints. Each cyanotype is one-of-a-kind, with its deep blue hues and natural details. Brilliance in Blue grew from Ruth’s love for this artistic process, blending her scientific curiosity with her appreciation for nature.
Workshops
Discover the art of botanical cyanotype in my hands-on workshops, where you’ll create stunning blue prints. This historic photographic process is perfect for beginners and seasoned artists alike. With small class sizes, I offer personalised guidance every step of the way. You’ll leave with your own beautiful cyanotype creations and the skills to continue exploring this unique craft at home.

Bespoke workshops are also available.
