Discover the magic of sun printing with the Jacquard Cyanotype Master Kit, a complete introduction to one of the oldest photographic printing techniques. Create beautiful, detailed prints in distinctive Prussian blue using sunlight, natural objects, photographs and your imagination.

First discovered in 1842, cyanotype printing uses a UV-sensitive solution to capture the shapes and shadows of objects onto paper, fabric and other suitable surfaces. It's a fascinating and rewarding creative process, perfect for beginners, photographers, artists and anyone who loves experimenting with traditional printmaking techniques.

This comprehensive kit includes pre-measured cyanotype chemicals, specialist fine art paper, a printing frame, brush, film sheets and everything you need to start exploring this beautiful process.

What can you create?

Use leaves, flowers, feathers, lace and other everyday objects to create delicate botanical prints, striking silhouettes and unique artwork. You can even create photographic prints using digital negatives printed onto transparent film.

Cyanotype printing works on a variety of natural materials, including cotton, linen, silk, canvas, paper, wood and leather.

What's included?

• 2 x 59ml bottles of cyanotype chemicals, Parts A and B

How does it work?

Simply add water to the two chemical bottles to prepare your stock solutions, then mix equal quantities to create the light-sensitive cyanotype solution.

Working away from UV light, brush the solution onto your chosen surface and allow it to dry. Arrange objects or photographic negatives on top, expose to sunlight or a suitable UV light source, then rinse and dry to reveal your beautiful blue print.
