How it works

One afternoon. Two prints in Prussian blue. You leave with both.

Herschel’s 1842 process: iron salts on paper, UV light, wash — the blue is Prussian blue.

Print one · shadowgram

1

Coat and dry

We coat the paper with iron salts. You watch how it goes on.

2

Arrange in light

Objects or shapes on the paper. Sun or UV does the rest.

3

Wash and dry

Rinse. Prussian blue settles. Your shadowgram is ready.

Print two · your picture

1

Send or bring a picture

Before the day, or at the start. We make the negative.

2

Expose and wash

Same process. Your image prints in that deep blue.
