30/09/2025 at 20:42Adorei conhecer este processo de fotografia alternativo, a Cianotipia. A experiência foi enriquecedora e abriu-me novas possibilidades criativas. O contacto direto com os químicos, a preparação do papel, a magia de ver a imagem surgir em tonalidades intensas de azul foi muito interessante. Além disso a Maria é super simpática e explica muito bem. Recomendo muitoooo

30/09/2025 at 16:26Had a beautiful workshop with a really nice teacher! We did everything by ourselves and were able to go through the whole art process on our own. I can really recommend this workshop to everyone – it doesn’t matter whether someone is really interested in art or not, it’s a lot of fun anyway! 🙂
