This cyanotype workshop introduces participants to a historic photographic printing process that uses light-sensitive, non-toxic chemicals to create vivid blue images. Attendees learn how to arrange objects or negatives, and use sunlight exposure to develop their prints. The workshop emphasizes hands-on experimentation, creativity, and an accessible approach to alternative photography. Participants are welcome to bring their own object, natural or human-made, to use in the sun printing activity. Objects that lie flat are best to create a cast shadow and shapes.

Este taller de cianotipia presenta a los participantes un proceso histórico de impresión fotográfica que utiliza productos químicos fotosensibles y no tóxicos para crear imágenes de un azul intenso. Los asistentes aprenden a disponer objetos o negativos y a utilizar la exposición a la luz solar para revelar sus copias. El taller hace hincapié en la experimentación práctica, la creatividad y un enfoque accesible a la fotografía alternativa. Los participantes pueden traer su propio objeto, ya sea natural o artificial, para utilizarlo en la actividad de impresión solar. Los objetos que se colocan en posición horizontal son los más adecuados para crear sombras y formas.
