Since ancient times, people have surrounded their homesteads with plants. This includes flower gardens, shrubs and trees. Each plant in the homestead had not only an aesthetic, but also a practical function – be it home protection or the use of healing properties – each plant tells its own story. Students of the creative workshop „Blue reflections of the sun in flower nurseries” will explore the relationship between man and nature, which has existed since ancient times, and will participate in the creative process. Using the light emitted by the sun, we will immortalize the stories of plants with one of the oldest photography techniques – cyanotype, the principle of operation of which is very simple at first glance, but the result is surprising and gives a lot of creative freedom.
