Jacquard - Cyanotype Fabric Sheets
Cyanotype is the “original” sun-printing process, one of the earliest photographic techniques and is a fun activity for any age!
The cyanotype process is great for photographers, mixed-media artists, printmakers, quilters, kids, and more. It is easy, forgiving, quick, magical, and fun!
Harness the power of the sun to make detailed prints from virtually any object that casts a shadow: tools, toys, plants, leaves, stones, sand, string, lace, etc.
Jacquard’s high-quality cotton sateen fabric sheets are pre-sensitized for cyanotype and ready to use, making sun printing a breeze.
You can make a rich, detailed print by pulling a sheet out of the package, placing objects or film on top, exposing it to light, rinsing, and drying.
*10 Packs and 30 Packs available
FABRIC/FIBER/SURFACES
Any natural fiber/porous surface, including cotton, linen, silk, canvas, wood, paper, wood and leather.
How does Cyantope printing work? When the cyanotype fabric is exposed to sunlight, a chemical reaction occurs. It won’t reveal itself, until you put the fabric in water. Then it will instantly turn blue!
How do you make a print? Place objects on the fabric to block the light. Wherever the sunlight doesn’t touch, it will remain white and leave a photographic impression on the fabric (this is called a “photogram”).
To make prints of photographs, print the photo onto transparency paper and place it on top of the fabric instead of an object.
You can even make prints from drawings by first drawing on a transparency—the possibilities are endless!
*Exposure time depends on conditions but is generally 3-10 minutes.
