Come make something beautiful with light
Analogue Photography Workshops at Nautilus Studio
Cyanotype & Lumen Print Sessions with Anna
Join me, Anna Sellen, for hands-on workshops exploring cyanotype printing and lumen printing. These beautiful camera-less photographic processes are offered as separate workshops, each providing its own unique way of working with light, materials and natural forms.
Cyanotype workshops introduce the rich blue prints of this nineteenth-century photographic process, while lumen printing workshops explore the softer, often unpredictable effects created by sunlight on photographic paper. Both offer a thoughtful, creative approach to analogue image-making and invite participants to slow down, observe closely and experiment with light.
In a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, you'll learn to prepare materials and create your own unique prints to take home. Whether you're completely new to historic processes or looking to deepen an existing practice, the workshops are designed to encourage curiosity, confidence and creative discovery.
A range of workshop formats is available, including one-to-one tuition, family and group workshops, and bespoke sessions for schools, community groups and special occasions. More advanced workshops can also be arranged for those wishing to explore either process in greater depth.
Gift vouchers are available for birthdays, celebrations and thoughtful surprises.
For those inspired to continue experimenting at home, studio-made cyanotype and lumen printing kits are available to purchase. Each kit contains hand-prepared materials and everything needed to keep exploring these beautiful analogue techniques in your own time.
We also offer:
• Photo Walks — slow, attentive wanderings shaped by light and place
• Photography experience days — immersive sessions to deepen skill and spark curiosity
• One‑to‑one and group creative sessions for all ages and abilities
Each invitation opens a moment to learn, to connect, and to explore the world with fresh eyes.
If this calls to you, reach out — or return in autumn 2026, when our full programme will unfold.
