 Indigo Imprints is a cyanotype printmaking studio, commercial space located on the 7th floor of Westside Imperia in Vastrapur, Ahmedabad.  At this space people can learn the art of cyanotype printmaking, and designers are also available to create customized products for sale. Cyanotype, also known as 'Ammonium prints' or 'Blueprints', was widely used before the advent of printing machines. Cyanotype is a photographic printing process that produces a cyan-blue print. It involves coating a surface with a light-sensitive solution of iron salts, exposing it to UV light through a negative or objects, and then washing it in water to develop the blue image.  Cyanotype printing can be made on various bases - wood, fabric, and paper. The primarily keywords used are contrast (between white and blue or gradient of shades of blue) and positive and negative spaces. (Whole semester work is uploaded in the given drive link.)
