Cyanotype Sensitizer Set

Cyanotype Set - Component Set for Photographic Blueprints on Paper and Fabric

The Cyanotype Set is designed for creating photographic blueprints on paper and fabric. Cyanotype, the "original" sun-printing process, is one of the earliest photographic techniques. Discovered in 1842, it is known for producing rich, Prussian blue monochromatic prints. This method was widely used well into the 20th century for reproducing photographs, documents, maps, and plans, hence the term "blueprint." It was also famous for making impressions of biological specimens in the field, known as "photograms."

Harness the sun's power to make detailed prints from various objects that cast shadows, such as tools, toys, plants, leaves, stones, sand, string, and lace. Simply place the object on the sensitized surface and expose it to sunlight (UV). You can also use a digitally-printed photographic negative, an inverted black and white photo inkjet-printed onto a transparency, to create full-resolution photographs on paper or fabric.

The Cyanotype Set is ideal for photographers, mixed media artists, printmakers, quilters, kids, and more. The cyanotype process is easy, forgiving, quick, magical, and fun. It allows you to capture the nuance of every shadow, making it a great group activity for all ages.
