Cyanotype workshop in Porto with Marisa Grilo, a multidisciplinary artist whose practice moves between ceramics, printmaking and expressive illustration, co-founder of doBARRO ceramics studio in Porto and member of collective Squid Ink Works, with over five years of experience working with diverse audiences through artistic workshops, a two-hour hands-on session at 35 euros exploring the magic of cyanotype, the photographic printing process that uses light-sensitive materials and sunlight to create striking blue images. All materials included. No prior experience needed, just curiosity.
Using everyday objects, drawings and natural elements you create your own compositions and watch as sunlight reveals their shapes on the surface, experimenting with different materials, textures and types of paper to discover how each changes the final result. Every exposure brings a little surprise, making each print a unique creation shaped by light, time and a touch of chance. Whether you love photography, nature or simply trying something genuinely different, this is a chance to slow down, get hands-on and see the world in blue.
