Cyanotypes and Plant Prints

Booking Required

Make blue-and-white plant photographs using sunlight and simple chemistry. Lay leaves and flowers on treated paper, expose them to the sun, then reveal vivid silhouettes in deep blues and bright whites. Touch, smell and arrange plants, press shapes into compositions, and watch patterns emerge. Guided activities encourage observation, curiosity and creative play while learning about light, contrast and natural textures. Children create their own botanical prints to take home.

In French. Kids ages 6 and up.
