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.

Who doesn't love a bit of Trivia?

Nandina is native to Japan and China.

The name derives from the Japanese word 'nanten' which means 'problem-solving': sharing your worries with the plant is said to give instant relief. Pure green therapy, in other words.

The fibres of Nandina are used to make soft, durable towels, amongst other things.

Unlike 'real' bamboo, Nandina does not run wild when planted in the ground.
