Cyanotype Kit - Fabric

Do it yourself cyanotype kit for textiles.

Create blueprints on fabric using an analog photographic process discovered in 1842. No darkroom required, just this kit and some sunlight!

With the ingredients in this kit, you can transform textiles into photo paper by making them sensitive to UV light. Where the sun hits the treated fabric, a dark blue color develops, also known as Prussian blue. This way, you can create blue-and-white prints on textiles at home. For example, you can print a photo on a sheet, draw on a sheet, or collect objects to then place on the treated textile. Expose it to sunlight and watch the color change! With this kit, you can mix and apply the photochemicals yourself—enough for the fabric in the kit and some of your own. So you can make enough mix to experiment further.

Instructions in the kit are in Dutch, English, French and German.
