I’m delighted to be able to announce that my new book ‘Cyanotypes on Fabric’ is now available!
Cyanotyping is a simple process for producing subtle, detailed images on fabric. Prussian blue and white – calm, cool, classical and utterly beautiful. Mix this technique from the 1840s with natural leaves and flowers or with modern digital negatives, and perhaps some textile techniques, and you have a wide range of image making possibilities.
The book has 96 pages in full colour and includes chapters on:
- Preparing the fabric (smooth, textured and restricted area backgrounds)
- Making the prints, including photograms, digital negatives, manipulating the fabric and ‘putting it all together’.
- Exposure
- Processing
- So you don’t want blue – toning, under-dyeing, over-dyeing and painting.
- Taking care of your cyanotypes.
There are also appendices on health and safety, copyright and hardware/software as well as a list of suppliers and a bibliography.
And finally – I can now supply an introductory pack of cyanotype chemicals so you can get started straight away.
If you’d like to order either or both of these items, please complete the downloadable order form below and return it to me with a cheque for the appropriate amount or your credit/debit card details.
