Wednesday LaBOX #9 / Cyanotype

Visit + workshop

One Wednesday afternoon per month, the CRP/ offers a visit and a workshop for the whole family, for children (6 to 14 years old) but also for their parents, to have fun while learning!

After a visit of the Bi Hu Suo exhibition, about emerging Chinese photography, from different images and accessories, compose your own cyanotype photo.

The cyanotype is an ancient process invented in 1842 by John Herschel. It allows to make images without a camera, on the principle of the print! It is thanks to a photosensitive mixture applied on paper, that an image of the objects affixed by contact appears during an exposure to ultraviolet rays.
