VACMA Project at Gaada

I was recently asked by Gaada to share experiences of my Visual Art and Craft Makers Award (VACMA) Project for their blog.

In 2021, I used Gaada’s equipment and tutor time to develop cyanotype work, experimenting with facilities including a light-box, scanner, Illustrator software and a plotter to produce vector graphic drawings. As well as learning a lot about the technical process of cyanotype, many ideas were generated during this time which I hope to continue developing this year and into the future.

Thank you to all at Gaada for this time and support. Read more about my project and lots of other things happening at Gaada here!
