Jacquard Cyanotype Fabric Sheets

This Jacquard Cyanotype Fabric Sheets set includes 10 8.5” x 11” sheets of pretreated cotton sateen fabric. With this set creating your own cyanotype prints at home is easier than ever before. Simply take an object or film negative over the top of the fabric and leave it to expose in the sunlight. Anywhere the sunlight doesn’t touch will remain white on your final print, and will leave a photographic impression of your object on the fabric. Exposure time will depend on conditions, but should take between 3 and 10 minutes. Once exposed, you should process your print in a tray of cool water and allow to air dry.

Cyanotype is a fun, easy and forgiving technique that is a great creative activity for photographers, mixed media artists, printmakers, quilters, kids and more!

Cyanotype is one of the earliest photographic techniques, and the original sun-printing process. The process was discovered in 1842 and is recognised for the iconic rich, Prussian Blue-hued monochromatic prints it creates. It enjoyed popularity well into the 20th century as it was an inexpensive way to produce photographs, documents, maps and plans - in fact it’s where the architectural term ‘blueprint’ comes from.
