Family First: Cyanotype Photography

Cyanotype printing provides a unique combination of natural artistry and photographic science. This technique allows participants to explore the potential of natural materials in artistic expression, while also learning about light-sensitive processes. The resulting prints are both scientific records and creative works of art.

This workshop offers an excellent opportunity for interdisciplinary learning, combining elements of art, science, and environmental awareness. Participants can explore the natural world around them, experiment with artistic techniques, and gain a deeper understanding of the science behind cyanotype photography
