About this event

Storytale Studio - make your own cyanotypes inspired by the library collection of microform

Join us on Saturday 29 August, 10am-12pm, and discover cyanotype printing in this hands-on workshop, inspired by the library’s collection of microform!

Experiment with light, shadow and composition using a collection of textures and patterns to create your own striking blue and white prints.

Perfect for all ages, this relaxed session celebrates creativity and the joy of exploring books together.

The session is free to attend, and there’s no need to book – just drop in.

Storytale Studio is a series of free, family-friendly craft workshops running throughout 2026, inspired by the rich collection of books held at Kresen Kernow – the largest collection about Cornwall. From folklore and history to picture books and contemporary stories, these sessions bring Cornwall’s stories to life through creative, hands-on activities.

Alongside the craft, you can explore themed book displays, follow family-friendly trails, and discover new stories together.

The sessions are led by artist and workshop facilitator Sophie Stanley-Butcher (Pop Up Paint Pot) and are designed to be welcoming and accessible for all ages.

Storytale Studio is a collaboration with Redruth Library and is funded by SWRLS.
