Jacquard Cyanotype Chemistry Set – Sun Printing Kit for Paper, Fabric & Natural Surfaces

Jacquard Cyanotype Chemistry Set

The Jacquard Cyanotype Chemistry Set brings the historic sun-printing process to your creative practice in a simple and exciting format. Cyanotype, discovered in 1842, is one of the earliest photographic techniques and is known for its striking rich blue monochromatic prints. It was widely used for reproducing photographs, documents, maps, and architectural plans—giving rise to the term blueprint.

This kit allows you to harness the power of sunlight (UV exposure) to create detailed prints on a variety of porous surfaces. Place an object such as leaves, lace, string, sand, tools, toys, stones, or other found materials on a sensitized surface and expose it to sunlight to reveal beautiful shadow impressions. You can also use a digitally printed photographic negative on transparency film to create highly detailed photographic cyanotype prints on paper or fabric.

The process is easy, quick, forgiving, and highly rewarding—making it perfect for beginners as well as experienced artists. Whether you are exploring alternative photography, mixed media art, textile design, printmaking, or group creative activities, this set opens up a world of experimental possibilities.

This set contains enough chemistry to make approximately:

• 65 prints of 8" x 10" on paper
• 50 prints of 8" x 10" on fabric

A brilliant creative tool for workshops, classrooms, family activities, artists, and crafters of all ages.
