APERITIF – FROM PHOTOGRAPHY TO CYANOTYPE

FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS | 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM

Art Gallery Finestreria – Via Ascanio Sforza 69, Milano

Have you ever heard of cyanotype?
Are you curious to discover how light, chemistry, and imagination can transform into deep blue works of art?

Art Gallery Finestreria invites you to a unique creative experience: an aperitif workshop dedicated to cyanotype, the ancient photographic technique that allows you to create artistic prints through exposure to natural light.

What we will do
During the workshop, guided by the artist Federico Catagnoli, we will explore together:
– A brief historical introduction to the cyanotype technique
– The materials and preparation of photosensitive papers
– Image composition using flowers, leaves, negatives, and small objects
– Light exposure and final printing
Please note that in the case of particularly cloudy weather, we will use UV lamps to develop the cyanotype prints.
While waiting for the chemical reaction to take place and for the longer exposure times, we will take a small dive into the world of painting: we will “paint the cyanotype.”

Materials Included:
– Light-sensitive paper for printing
– A customizable tote bag
– Tools, brushes, and chemical products
– At the end, you’ll take home your own handmade creations: prints, tote bag, and T-shirt!

Materials Not Included:
– Any personal items you’d like to experiment with, such as flowers, leaves, negatives, or small objects whose shapes you find interesting

What to Wear
Wear comfortable clothes that can get messy or that you don’t mind staining.

No prior experience is required: whether you’re an artist, a photographer, or simply a curious soul, this workshop offers a space for expressive freedom, discovery, and inspiration.

And to make the experience even more enjoyable, we’ll offer a small aperitif with cocktails and snacks.

Let yourself be surprised by the magic of blue and come create with us.
We’ll be waiting for you with hands full of creativity!
