12201225080?profile=originalTuesday 30 May is National Creativity Day, and Newport's creative arts department in Coleg Gwent will be celebrating this by creating Wales’ largest cyanotype. This Welsh record-breaking cyanotype will be made in Waunfawr Park, Newport, opposite Crosskeys Campus, on Tuesday 30th May at midday and everyone is welcome to be involved. 

The cyanotype artwork will 11 meters long and three meters wide – 33m2 in total. It will be made using staff and learners to create silhouettes to represent the wonderful diversity of people in Crosskeys Campus.

12201225476?profile=originalLecturer in Photography and Course Leader of the FDa and BA Photography programme Peter Britton says "This will be a test process for something exciting we have happening later in the year... We have just started the process of applying to the Guinness book of records to make one of the worlds biggest photographs. We will be using the cyanotype process again, to create an image that is ENORMOUS - the worlds biggest cyanotype! As for date and location, to be confirmed, but probably September this year..."

More on BPH when details are released. In the meantime this record-breaking Welsh cyanotype is equally exciting.
