Cyanotype Workshop By Camille Soularyol & Marie Vendittelli
Brighten up your life with the fabulous yet almost forgotten technique of cyanotype, reimagined in this beautifully illustrated, practical guide.
Cyanotype printmaking dates back to the early days of photographic technology and was pioneered by the famous English botanist Anna Atkins. While this craft form disappeared for many years it has experienced a revival of late and this innovative technique is a wonderful way of creating art with very few materials and heaps of imagination.
Cyanotype Workshop is a practical hands-on guide that teaches readers how to make stunning and unique prints using a low-cost and easy camera-less technique. In this beautiful and inspirational printmaking book, easy-to-follow instructions and gorgeous photography show you how to produce beautiful, detailed white images on a Prussian blue background using the cyanotype method. With little more than water, sunlight and a photosensitive solution, discover how to make stunning and unique blue prints of everything from plant life to household objects. Includes how to use sun exposure for different tones, making a herbarium (including how to dry different plants), use of different materials and papers. Hang them on your walls, create striking decorative objects or customise clothes and soft furnishings - the sky’s the limit!
