Cyanotype and sun printing courses, craft kits and handcrafted gifts

Sun printing is a primitive form of photography. Using cyanotype chemicals and sunshine you can capture plants and objects onto paper, textiles and silk Bridget mainly works with cotton and other natural materials creating and prints and cards building up from working on paper, to experimenting with textiles. New technique of wet cyanotype not included

This type of printing is unique in that it is a form of photography that does not require a camera or an expensive darkroom. I will provide gloves and aprons but it's best not to wear your favourite clothes just in case you get chemicals on them. You are welcome to bring your own materials (stencils, negatives, flowers etc) and play around with the prints. I will provide all other materials, including a hair dryer..... all will be revealed! I do have a UV lamp if it happens to be...

Teach yourself how to make a sun print, otherwise known as a cyanotype - this type of printing is unique in that it is a form of photography that does not require a camera or an expensive darkroom. Engineers used the process well into the 20th century as a simple and low-cost process to produce copies of drawings, referred to as blueprints. The printing process is accessible, super easy and you will be able to create a stunning final work of art with its signature Prussian blue colour within minutes!

This is a unique design from my limited collection of Nature-inspired silk scarves and is hand-printed using the Cyanotye process and 100% hand-rolled Chinese silk. The Cyanotype process is a 19th Century photographic process that uses iron salts and sunshine to create a beautiful Prussian Blue colour; it is the original 'blueprint'. In the 1800s, botanist Anna Atkins was the first person to use photographs to illustrate a book by using Cyanotypes and this is the same process that I use today! Each of my Nature silk scarves is a...

This is a unique design from my limited collection of Nature-inspired Cyanotype prints and is a hand-printed Prussian Blue Cyanotype silk scarf. Perfect as a special gift, the scarf is soft, floaty and very elegant. Size-wise, @28cm x 114cm, it will drape elegantly around your neck without being too long, like a lot of scarves these days. You could even wear it as a hair accessory. Made to order, I am happy to take commissions for a Cyanotype silk scarf if you would like more of them, or ones with...

Primarily, my workshops happen outside, so are ideal as we all emerge from the confines of our houses this Spring! Let me come to your garden and show you and your friends/family how to create beautiful blueprints. My relaxed Cyanotype Printing Workshops are suitable for beginners, especially those people who think that they are not particularly artistic. This photographic printing process was used in the 19th century by architects, engineers and scientists to copy drawings. By mixing Ferric Ammonium Citrate and Potassium Ferricyanide with sunlight, beautiful (Prussian) blue images are...

This is a silk scarf that would be a talking point when you wear it; slightly quirky with a touch of humour and at the same time soft and elegant. I have used original illustrations of vintage flying machines as stencils, then hand-printed it, using the 'Blueprint' photographic process (Cyanotype). The result is a beautiful 'Prussian Blue' colour. I am happy to take commissions for a Cyanotype silk scarf if you would like more of them, or ones with a different design.
