Item details

Welcome to Hazleton Art- Botanical Cyanotype Photograms, handmade in Hampshire.

Cyanotype is a camera-less photographic technique, that produces a distinct ‘Prussian Blue’ colour print (Photogram) The process was discovered in 1842 by Sir John Herschel, as a means for reproducing drawings and diagrams (Blueprints). Botanist Anna Atkins in the late 19th century was the first to document seaweed and plants using this technique.

It was truly a thrill to forage for the wonderful weed used in my artwork (All restrictions for collecting seaweed faithfully followed) Some of the seaweed I used: Egg Wrack, Bladder Wrack, Carrageen, Sea Lettuce, Serrated Wrack, Sea Spaghetti and Cocks Comb.

Once home the seaweed was washed and some I pressed for drying, the remainder I used to make the Wet Cyanotypes for this collection. As an experiment, I used papers and canvases I had for printing photos. Unsure how they would turn out, or even if they would fix at all, mostly they gave some super results, shiny appearances and vivid colours.
