We are excited to invite you to a hands-on workshop provided by our artist in residence, Jeroen Cavents, exploring the fascinating world of historical photographic techniques - cyanotype and salt printing. 

During this workshop, you’ll delve into two of the oldest photographic processes: 

Cyanotype
Invented in 1842 by Sir John Herschel, this technique produces beautiful, vivid blue images using a light-sensitive solution and UV light. 

Salt Printing
Developed by William Henry Fox Talbot in the 1830s, this was one of the earliest photographic processes, creating soft, textured images with a unique sepia charm.

No prior experience is necessary, just a curiosity to learn and create! By the end of the session, you will have crafted your own cyanotype and salt print to take home.
