Botanical collages Open cyanotype workshop for adults 📍 Zachęta - Narodowa Galeria Sztuki entry 30 zł 📅 28.06 Sunday, 1 PM 🎫 buy ticket: https://bilety.zacheta.art.pl/rezerwacja/nienumerowane.html?id=4131&idt=82f5cde1913cf744e34f051e03c15313&d=3&idw=255 During the workshop, we will create unique, blue collages using plants collected earlier in Saski Park. We will arrange them into original compositions, which we will then transform into photograms-images created without the use of a camera. The workshop will be an opportunity to work with nature, experiment with form, and learn one of the oldest photographic techniques. Cyanotype is a 19th-century fine art technique pioneered by the British photographer and botanist Anna Atkins (1799-1871). During the class, we will learn how to prepare a light-sensitive solution, apply it to paper, expose it properly, develop the image in water, and dry it correctly. The result will be unique botanical prints in a characteristic blue tone. duration: 2,5 hours led by: İlsu Kaya and Alicja Lesiów _____ İlsu Kaya - multidisciplinary artist and educator originally from Turkey.
