Blue on white! Workshop!

09.12.2022 - 11.12.2022

Every time winter comes, we remember what we dreamed about in childhood and continue to believe in miracles. You can immerse yourself in the atmosphere of light magic and learn the lessons of magic with the help of cyanotype…

For the first time! On December 9, 10, 11, the Central Botanical Garden invites you to a workshop on cyanotype “Blue on White”!

Cyanotype is a very effective and unusual way of decorating. It is a silver-free printing process that was invented by John Herschel back in 1842. The technology for obtaining images of blue and blue shades creates a monochrome blue print.

The most popular motif in cyanotype is plants. The magical combination of white and blue is always mesmerizing. Masterpieces of unusual pictures for New Year's cards, created with your own hands, become even more valuable, which makes cyanotype very popular. Anyone can make a print and embody New Year's or Christmas motifs on it.
