Print Your Own Piece of Blue with Sunlight and Plants
用陽光與植物，印出一片屬於你的藍
(Chinese is below)
After much planning, we are so excited to finally launch our Botanical Cyanotype Workshop! Since moving to the Netherlands, we’ve completely fallen in love with the sunshine and plants here. Exploring this new environment made us deeply reflect on the concept of "Memory, Home & Belonging"—how we carry our roots with us, and how nature helps us anchor ourselves in a new place.
Plants often hold deep connections to our personal journeys and our memories. We’ve been constantly thinking about how to capture this relationship through the cyanotype process, turning our creation into a "Memory Collective" project, and sharing this beautiful experience with more of you!
In this intimate, small-group workshop, you’ll enjoy a relaxing and laid-back creative session. At the end, you'll get to take home your very own handmade cyanotype prints (3-4 pieces). We won't just guide you through the basic principles of cyanotype; we’ll also share practical tips so you can continue creating at home!
Most importantly, by getting hands-on together in this shared space of collective memory, you’ll rediscover the joy of making. You'll experience firsthand that art is fun, meaningful, and for everyone.
Join us on the afternoons of July 12 and July 19! Let’s use the sunshine and plants to print a shade of blue that is uniquely yours, and perhaps, find a little piece of belongings in the process.
📍 Location: KNSM Eiland, Amsterdam (We’ll send you the full address after you sign up!)
👥 Who: Small groups (limited spots) • Beginners welcome • No experience necessary
⏳ Format: 3-hour workshop • One session
🎨 Materials: All materials are provided, including light-sensitive solution and heavyweight watercolour papers (3-4 pieces per person).

🌳 Cyanotype Workshop ｜ Print Your Own Piece of Blue with Sunlight and Plants
Cyanotype is one of the oldest and most approachable printing techniques in the world. No darkroom, no complicated equipment. Just sunlight, a touch of chemistry, and the flowers and leaves right in front of you, leaving behind deep, beautiful blue impressions.
In this workshop, we’ll create together using flowers, leaves, and grasses to make botanical prints that are entirely your own. Through the slow, mindful process of arranging these botanicals and exposing them to the sun, we invite you to trace back your own life experiences and reflect on how plants intertwine with your personal stories. What you bring home isn’t just a few finished pieces. It’s a physical imprint of your memory and a new way of seeing the world. You might find yourself pausing on the street afterwards to study the outline of a leaf, or the way a clump of grass sways in the wind.

🌳 植物藍曬工作坊 ｜ 用陽光與植物，印出一片屬於你的藍
籌備許久，我們終於決定開辦「植物藍曬工作坊」了！移居荷蘭後，享受這裡的陽光與植物，在探索新環境的過程中，我們也不斷思索著「記憶 (Memory)、家 (Home) 與歸屬 (Belongings)」的意義——我們如何帶著根源的記憶，透過自然找到歸屬感。
我們深信，植物往往承載著我們不同階段的生命經驗，甚至是記憶、思念與情感。 因此，我們一直思考著如何透過藍曬捕捉這份「植物與個人生命之間的連結」，將其發展成一個「記憶共創（Memory Collective）」的計畫，並把這份回溯生命經驗的美好分享給更多人！
在這場小班制的工作坊中，你可以享受一段放鬆、悠哉的創作時光，最後還能把親手完成的藍曬作品（3-4張）直接帶回家。我們不只會帶你認識藍曬的基本原理，還會分享實用的小訣竅，讓你回家後也能繼續自己動手做！
最重要的是，透過和大家一起參與這個記憶共創的過程，你會重新找回手作的純粹快樂，並深刻體會到：藝術很好玩、能乘載生命的重量，而且每個人都做得到。
July 12 與 July 19 的午後，邀請你一起用陽光與植物，印出一片專屬於你的藍，並在創作中，找回那份歸屬！
📍 地點： 阿姆斯特丹 KNSM Eiland（報名後我們會將詳細地址寄給您！）
👥 對象： 小班制（名額有限） • 歡迎新手 • 無需任何經驗
⏳ 形式： 3 小時工作坊 • 單次課程
🎨 材料： 我們會提供所有所需材料，包含藍曬感光液與厚磅水彩紙（每人 3-4 張）。

藍曬（cyanotype）是世界上最古老、也最平易近人的顯影技法之一。不需要暗房，不需要複雜的設備，只要陽光，加上一點化學反應的魔法，手邊的花草葉片就能留下一片片深沉而美麗的藍色印記。
在這場工作坊裡，我們會一起用花朵、葉子和草來創作，做出屬於自己的植物影像。你帶回家的，不只是幾張作品，是你記憶的銘刻，更是一種看世界的新方式。課後你可能會發現自己開始在路邊停下腳步，仔細看一片葉子的輪廓，或一叢草在風裡搖曳的樣子。
