Description

Explore the art of cyanotype printing with the Clairefontaine Cyanotype Kit and dive into a 19th-century photographic technique that requires no camera. This comprehensive kit includes everything you need to create stunning cyan-blue prints using only sunlight and everyday objects. Whether you're a seasoned artist or just starting, the kit makes it easy to experiment with this fascinating process and create one-of-a-kind artworks.

Cyanotype is a unique, camera-less photographic printing technique developed in the 1800s. The process involves applying special chemicals to paper, arranging objects or materials on top, and then exposing the paper to ultraviolet light. After rinsing, the result is a striking, permanent cyan-blue print - a beautiful positive image that highlights the details and silhouettes of the objects used. Perfect for experimenting with nature, textiles, or custom designs, cyanotype printing is an accessible way to create timeless and elegant artwork.

Kit Includes:

  • All necessary chemicals and tools to create cyanotype prints.
  • Step-by-step instructions for beginners and enthusiasts.
  • High-quality Clairefontaine paper for producing your first cyanotype artworks.
