Maria Yiasoumi

I have worked with festival’s, galleries and arts organisations exhibiting my artwork since the late 1990’s, and am a trained art tutor for adults.

I am presently running workshops and tutoring in the art of making experimental cyanotype or sunlight photography. The workshops are conducted here in my north London studio and outdoor space or darkroom depending on weather conditions.

The workshops are run on a one to one basis, so far, and comprise of two 2 hour sessions.
The first session takes place in my studio and darkroom and involves an introduction and presentation to the process, it's history and artists working with the media, both past and contemporary, enabling a discussion and development of ideas and how each participant may like to bring these ideas to their own practice. There is then the first practical part of the work in the darkroom, to prepare for printing.

The second part of the workshop is where the printing of the cyanotypes takes place on a practical basis.
Each participant can expect to come away with prints of there own. Materials and facilities are included in the cost of each workshop, and follow up sessions may be booked, where students have access to facilities and any advice or feedback needed.
