Then, you will make several tests on small formats in order to familiarise yourself with the possibilities of this technique.Ā
Then it's time for your photos! You will coat 6 sheets of A4 paper with a special solution. The negatives of the two photos previously sent to Caroline will then be used following a special procedure. Your papers will then be exposed in exposure boxes and developed in a quick and non-toxic way.Ā
And, voilĆ ! The magic will happen and your photos will appear.Ā
You will leave with 6 A4 posters, 3 pictures and a lot of new knowledge about this magical technique!Ā

Workshop location
Caroline's studio is located in the Anderlecht district and can be reached by bus and metro (Aumale station).
This place is not accessible to people with reduced mobility.
Caroline worked for a long time in the IT field before leaving all of it behind to do what she loves best. Since 2017, she has returned to her childhood love of sewing. Her Italian grandmother introduced her to sewing and Caroline is happy to share her knowledge of it in this workshop. Being very creative and versatile, Caroline discovered cyanotyping in 2019 and became passionate about this still underdeveloped method! She makes prints mainly from dried plants or photographic negatives and immortalises beautiful memories through them. She runs workshops to teach others this technique so you can make your own cyan blue creations. You will be introduced to her large 60 sq. ft. workshop located on the 3rd floor of an old factory that has been transformed into a modern venue and now hosts workshops, businesses and events. Weather permitting, you can enjoy one of the beautiful terraces during the workshops!
It was a pleasure to work with Caroline. She is very experienced and helped us achieve optimal results with our own photos, all this in a convivial atmosphere with some blues music in the background. Highly recommended workshop!
