09.02.2024 - 11.02.2024

On February 9, 10, 11, the Central Botanical Garden of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus invites you to a workshop on cyanotype "Magic of Blue"! At the workshop, you will be able to create a handmade romantic souvenir magnet.

Cyanotype is a spectacular and unusual way of decorating. It is a silver-free printing process that was invented by John Herschel back in 1842. This is a technology for obtaining images of blue and blue shades, with the help of which a monochrome blue print is created.

The most popular motif in cyanotype is plants. The magical combination of white and blue is always fascinating, which makes cyanotype very popular. Masterpieces of unusual pictures for original souvenirs become even more valuable when created with your own hands.
