Eureka is a social group for autistic students at Swansea University. Organised by the University’s Wellbeing & Disability Service, it provides a safe space where members can socialise and interact in ways that suit them best. The group facilitates connections among like-minded individuals, helping to foster a sense of community, belonging and wellbeing during the often challenging transition to university life.
“The Eureka group is thrilled to be involved in the Mini Print Wales project, and look forward to embracing opportunities to learn new skills and exercise creativity.”
Printmaking Technique: Cyanotype | Wednesday 7 May 2025/ Wednesday 25 June 2025
An introduction to Cyanotype – a printing / photography technique that involves layering objects or negative images onto coated paper or fabric, before exposing it to UV light.
Lead Artist: Nathalie Stone | Volunteer Artist support: Pat Lowe
About the Lead Artist: Nathalie Stone is a cyanotype and printmaking artist, originally from Switzerland and living in Swansea since1987. Her practice is rooted in exploration and experimentation, with a particular focus on cyanotype and linocut techniques.
“I’m captivated by their unpredictable nature, which brings a sense of magic and surprise that constantly sparks my curiosity.”
Deeply inspired by the natural beauty of the Gower and its breath-taking coastline, Nathalie collects organic materials during walks, pressing and incorporating them into her work. This process not only fuels her creativity but also supports her personal wellbeing.
Cyanotype and linocut offer limitless possibilities, allowing her to experiment with diverse surfaces. She especially enjoys working outdoors, where sunlight and water play an active role in shaping each piece. Her work reflects a personal journey, a connection to nature and ‘la joie de vivre.’ She is also passionate about photography and alternative processes.
