«The discovery of cyanotype»
Family workshop from 6 years
Cyanotype is an ancient photographic process through which one obtains a photographic print of an intense blue color. This technique was developed in 1842 by the English scientist and astronomer J.F.W Herschel.
So like Zadkine who let himself be guided by the fortuitous discoveries in his garden and by the emergence of forms in nature, discover how to tame the technique of cyanotype to make a beautiful blue cyan herbarium or a unique photo of one of the sculptures of the museum.
This workshop, led by The Inventors at the Zadkine Museum, allows us to discover this intriguing process that inspired the fathers of modern photography. The prints thus obtained, by the intensity of their colour, evoke encyclopedic engravings or unreal dreamlike images…
All the works obtained will be unique, poetic and touching!
This workshop is led by Les Inventors, founders of a space dedicated to creation and manufacturing for adults, teenagers and children from 4 years! Their goal? Encourage the desire to learn and «do it yourself» in 4 areas of activity: carpentry, digital manufacturing, metalwork and Do It Yourself technique.
