Open workshop
The open workshop is a creative free space where you can immerse yourself and have fun working with images of all kinds. Here you have the opportunity to create – independently or in collaboration with others.
Develop and exchange artistic and human experiences and engage in a safe, trusting and informal community.
You can paint, draw, photograph, print, embroider, weave, make collages, model or anything else you want to do.
The workshop is open Monday to Friday 10-15.30 am
Every Wednesday we have a special focus on a topic. it can be color theory, portrait painting, puppet workshop, shadow theater, alternative photographic techniques or something we come up with together.
It takes place in CKMS’ workshop at Hans Bogbinders allé 3 2.tv.
The workshop is facilitated by visual artist Peter Bjørn Franceschi. If you have any questions or wishes you would like to talk about before you come by, you can call Peter at 29790345 or write an email to peter.bjoern.franceschi@regionh.dk

Cyanotopy
One of the photographic techniques we work a lot with in the open workshop is cyanotype, also known as blueprinting.
The technique dates back to the mid-1800s and was used to create the world’s first photo-illustrated book by biologist Anna Atkins in a pictorial work on algae.
A photosensitive emulsion based on the iron salts ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide mixed with demineralized water, when applied to paper and exposed to UV sunlight, produces a cyan blue colour. Covering areas of the paper with plants, negatives or anything else will result in a photogram as the covered areas retain the color of the paper after developing, which is as simple as rinsing the paper thoroughly in water.
If you want, you can then continue working with the image, either by toning it with tea, for example, which makes the image sepia-colored, or you can process it with ink, paint or anything else you like.
