Caroline welcomes you in her beautiful creative space to share her passion and know-how!
The workshop will start with a theoretical part where you will discover the history, the technique and the chemistry of cyanotype.
Then, you will make several tests on small formats in order to familiarise yourself with the possibilities of this technique.
Then it's time for your photos! You will coat 6 sheets of A4 paper with a special solution. The negatives of the two photos previously sent to Caroline will then be used following a special procedure. Your papers will then be exposed in exposure boxes and developed in a quick and non-toxic way.
And, voilà! The magic will happen and your photos will appear.
You will leave with 6 A4 posters, 3 pictures and a lot of new knowledge about this magical technique!
You will be allowed two negatives and 2 tests per negative or 1 negative and 4 tests for this one

Meet Caroline
Cyanotyping Expert
Caroline worked for a long time in the IT field before leaving all of it behind to do what she loves best. Since 2017, she has returned to her childhood love of sewing. Her Italian grandmother introduced her to sewing and Caroline is happy to share her knowledge of it in this workshop. Being very creative and versatile, Caroline discovered cyanotyping in 2019 and became passionate about this still underdeveloped method! She makes prints mainly from dried plants or photographic negatives and immortalises beautiful memories through them. She runs workshops to teach others this technique so you can make your own cyan blue creations. You will be introduced to her large 60 sq. ft. workshop located on the 3rd floor of an old factory that has been transformed into a modern venue and now hosts workshops, businesses and events. Weather permitting, you can enjoy one of the beautiful terraces during the workshops!
Atelier de folie !!! Super instructif, super intéressant, super ambiance ! On était un petit groupe et donc on a eu bien le temps de poser toutes nos questions et d expérimenter avec plusieurs photos. Je recommande ++++ ! Je reviendrai sûrement bientôt :)

Atelier que nous recommandons chaudement!!!
Nous avons passé un très bon moment en compagnie de Caroline. Ce fut l'occasion de découvrir une nouvelle pratique qui nous a séduite par l'infinité des possibilités qu'elle offrait. Caroline est patiente, attentive (et drôle!) et ne ménage pas ses efforts ni son temps pour nous aider. Une pépite!
