Cyanotype is a printing process that uses sunlight (UV) to create images in a deep blue tone, which contrasts with the white background of the paper. We will try out this technique, which emerged in the 19th century, using natural objects such as leaves and flowers, and others that our imagination might suggest. At the end, each participant will take their prints home. Note: this workshop depends on sunlight. In case of very cloudy weather or rain, the activity may be cancelled.
