World Anthotype Day
World Cyanotype Day
Dear Daniela,
I have contacted Linda on Blueprints on Fabric and she says they are still in business, but the website is not always working as it should, and orders are coming through sporadically. Keep trying I guess?
Hi,
I tried several times to contact BluePrintsOnFabric, but never got an answer. Maybe this store is closed? Does anyone know something about that? I also looked up other shops in this directory, but I couldn’t find, what I need for my next art project: precoated cotton squares (30 x 30 cm or 40 x 40 cm). Unfortunately I have currently no suitable space where I could coat fabric on my own.
Please, let me know, if you know a shop, which offers precoated cyanotype cotton squares and delivers to Germany.
Thank you very much!
Best wishes, Daniela
Thank you for your suggestion, it’s a HUGE task keeping the directory up to date as it is, but if we get a volunteer to work on this we will do it. 🙂
It would be helpful to incorporate a flags in the titles, to help selsct the supplier based on geographic location they serve, instead of going through each one of them.
Hi Jaffer, In the UK i would try Silverprint, if not, then have you tried Bostick and Sullivan, they do kits, perhaps they will ship.
Hello! Could you please help? I need Carbon printing kit where would I get it from in the UK?
Thank you in advance
Jaffer
