Invented by John Herschel in 1842, cyanotype is a historical analogue photographic technique famous for its deep blue, monochromatic images. In the 19th century, plant studies, maps, plans (blueprints) and documents were recorded in this way. This photogram technique is still very popular today.
This is a very simple photographic process that does not require a darkroom or laboratory equipment. The processing is non-toxic and can therefore be carried out very well together with children.
The cyanotype fabric sheets are already pre-coated and ready for use.
Instructions
Remove cyanotype fabric sheets from the light protection bag in dim room light (away from UV or direct sunlight)
Cover with objects, stencils, negative templates, plants, etc. as desired. There are no limits to your imagination. Depending on the template, it may be helpful to weigh it down with a pane of glass
Depending on the intensity of the sun, expose to UV light for 3-10 minutes; alternatively, a UV lamp can be used. Where UV light hits the cyanotype sheet a chemical reaction takes place.
Rinse the exposed sheets with cold water for at least 5 minutes until the water no longer shows any discoloration. The exposed areas turn blue.
Within 24 hours, the cyanotype images dry and receive their deep blue image tone through oxidation To speed up the process, you can optionally add a few drops of hydrogen peroxide to the washing water.
Fabric care instructions: Wash printed fabrics in cold water with a phosphate-free detergent. Do not use a steam setting when ironing.
