Skittledog - Cyanotype: Learn in a Weekend

Cyanotype: Learn in a Weekend

Master sunlight printing techniques that turn everyday fabrics into art

Those crisp Prussian blue prints that capture botanical specimens, found objects, and long-exposure experiments with equal clarity.

Glover's step-by-step approach moves from coating paper to printing on fabric, demonstrating how the same essential technique adapts across cushion covers, T-shirts, tote bags, and lampshades. She explains exposure times, contact printing setup, and washing procedures with the specificity beginners need, then extends into creative territory, using extended exposures to achieve X-ray effects and layering multiple exposures for complex imagery. The photography examples show what's actually achievable in a weekend rather than setting unrealistic expectations.

At 80 pages, this paperback concentrates on practical instruction over history lessons. You get clear process documentation, troubleshooting guidance for common coating and exposure problems, and enough project variety to understand how cyanotype works across different substrates. Whether you're coating your first sheet or looking to expand beyond standard paper printing, Glover provides the technical foundation without overcomplicating what remains an elegantly simple process.
