Blue on white! Workshop

10.02.2023 - 12.02.2023

With the arrival of February, our favorite holidays from childhood are approaching, for which we all expect pleasant surprises and gifts. The Central Botanical Garden invites you to attend a fascinating workshop, where you can make original romantic handmade cards using cyanotype.

On February 10, 11 and 12, the Central Botanical Garden invites you to a workshop on cyanotype "Blue on White"!

Cyanotype is a non-silver photographic process invented in 1842 by the English physicist and astronomer John Herschel. The technology for obtaining prints of blue and blue shades is quite simple and available even at home.

In the age of digital photography, this primitive, but semi-magical photographic process is gaining more and more popularity among designers and artists. At our workshop you will not only gain the knowledge and skills necessary to obtain amazingly beautiful images, but you will also be able to make souvenirs with your own hands and embody the motifs of the upcoming holidays on them.
