In the beautiful Grosser Garten in Gerswalde we will be enchanted by the power of pure sun light and chemistry. In this Berlin Blueprint workshops we will make our own blue prints. We will compose our images from the flowers, branches, stones and other things we find in the garden and the surrounding area. In a creative process and in collaboration with nature we develop blue images of the flora and fauna of the Uckermark.

The so-called cyanotype is one of the oldest photographic techniques. After the daguerreotype and the calotype, it is the third developed method for the production of stable photographic images and works completely without a camera and without a darkroom – only with the help of sunlight. Our images will turn a radiant, fascinating, deep, poetic blue. At the end of the workshop we will hold high-contrast photograms and deep blue photographic images in our hands – each blueprint blueprint a unique specimen.

The magical place Grosser Garten in Gerswalde is located one hour north of Berlin in the Uckermark and invites you to a relaxing city escape to the countryside. In an oasis of a wonderful garden with homegrown vegetables, fruit trees and sun terraces is also the restaurant Parg by JaJaBerlin and MAGASIN SÜRPRIS. Make sure to book a table on time!
