Cyanotype is one of the genuine photography techniques which uses the light-sensitivity of ferric oxalate. In a darkroom or a poorly lit room, a sheet of paper or fabric is covered with a special solution which creates a light-sensitive yellow-green surface. After drying, it is irradiated in the sun or in lamp light. The pictures which are created in the process don’t need a copy and have a very distinctive color, the so-called Prussian blue. By the use of this method, we return to 1843 and Anna Atkins, a British botanist. During the family workshop, we will get to know her works and we will create bookmarks.

This workshop is for children aged 6 and over.
