Cyanotype Chemistry Set

Cyanotype chemistry set makes Prussian blue sun prints on paper or fabric using objects, shadows, or photo negatives.

Explore one of the earliest photographic printing processes with a cyanotype chemistry set for creating rich Prussian blue prints on paper and fabric. Cyanotype uses sunlight or UV exposure to capture the silhouette, texture, and shadow of objects placed on a sensitized surface. The process is approachable, forgiving, and visually striking, making it a favorite for photographers, mixed media artists, printmakers, quilters, teachers, families, and creative groups.

Use leaves, flowers, lace, string, tools, toys, stones, shells, cut paper, or other flat and dimensional objects to make photograms. Areas blocked from light remain pale, while exposed areas develop into the signature blue after rinsing. For photographic prints, use a digitally printed black-and-white negative on transparency film to transfer full-resolution images onto paper or fabric. This opens up many possibilities for handmade cards, art journal pages, quilt panels, fabric patches, wall art, classroom experiments, botanical studies, and custom mixed media compositions.

This cyanotype chemistry set contains enough chemistry to make approximately sixty-five 8″ x 10″ prints on paper or fifty 8″ x 10″ prints on fabric. “Use it for creative sun-print sessions with leaves, lace, photo negatives, or found objects, or pair it with artist pads and paper when planning paper-based cyanotype work. Because the results depend on light, objects, exposure, and rinsing, every print has a distinctive handmade quality. It is a memorable technique for documenting nature, making gifts, or experimenting with photographic art without a camera.
