Similar to last year’s land-based workshop, we invited photographers to engage with the land in staging site-specific assemblages using natural materials which were then photographed. Over the weekend we used cyanotype printing methods to turn digital images into tangible prints. The participants this year, who included experienced artists and photographers, presented their portfolios in our evening session adding to this engaging event.

Co-hosted at SCFF by Sine Andersen and Victoria Hirst.

A self-loving, self-image building and self-empowering transformational weekend retreat in nature. We spent time in the forest, enjoying the process of therapeutic relaxation focusing on sensory engagement to connect with nature. We meditated, walked and studied spiritual practices to help connect to our inner-selves.

Experimental Artist Books 2025

2 people holding long blueprint strip while washing it

Our 2025 experimental bookbinding workshop involved making fold books on long strips of Japanese washi paper, utilizing cyanotype (sun prints or blue prints) solution which is exposed to sunlight. Collaging images and photographs copied onto transparencies provided the contents.

The resulting long accordion strip was bound using the drum leaf glued method of binding (no sewing) and hard covers were pasted onto the accordion section.

Boxmaking Workshop 2025

The boxmaking weekend was a great success with beautiful results by each participant. We enjoyed ourselves, worked diligently and went through the steps of constructing, covering and assembling double-tray clamshell boxes covered in colourful Japanese papers.
