Darkroom - Printing onto Paint?

[nisciocco]

Hi there folks,

I have a question about printing in the darkroom. I've recently started using one, and love it to pieces. However I'm interested in pushing the boundaries a bit, and wondered if there was any "photography" paint on the market that can be painted onto fabric for example, to then be exposed to light and printed onto in a darkroom in the way regular photo paper can?

Someone once told me this stuff existed, but does anyone know what it is officially known as and where I could obtain some?

Many thanks for any help :)

This was reasonably popular in the 70's. I had great fun in putting portraits onto smooth pebbles. You'll have fun using it.
