Postcards from the Forest
📬 Postcards from the Forest – Cyanotype Workshop
Did you know that the very first book with photographic images in history was made using the cyanotype process? It’s a very simple technique—we like to call it “taking a picture with the sun”! Sheets of paper are coated with naturally photosensitive iron salts which, when exposed to sunlight, create a permanent impression in beautiful shades of blue.
🌿 Nature that leaves a mark
Let yourself be inspired by the park, its many stories, and the mysterious creatures that inhabit it. Explore the forest floor in search of tiny flowers and plants to include in your postcard. Arrange your personal collection of natural shapes and elements on the paper—then let the sun do the rest! The shadows cast by your composition will create your very own original postcard from the forest.
📸 Who is this workshop for?
Perfect for curious, sensitive children and teens who enjoy detail and discovery. Also suitable for adults who want to reconnect with the joy of hands-on creation and be amazed by the simplicity of this ancient photographic process.
👧🧒 Recommended age: 5+ years — the activity requires a minimum level of manual independence.
