Pflanzen im Sonnenlicht, Zyanotopie-Workshop

How is an image created using sunlight?

In this workshop, we’ll create unique designs using natural materials such as leaves, flowers, and other found objects. Using cyanotype—an early photographic process that was used, among other things, in botany to document plants—the sun’s UV light creates vibrant blue images on paper. This allows you to capture the shapes of the materials used in your own individual compositions.

Feel free to bring leaves, flowers, or grasses! They should be as fresh as possible and not too dry so that their delicate structures are clearly visible.
