Cyanotype is an analogue photographic printing process that was discovered in the 1800s. The process creates a beautiful cyan-blue print. All you need is this kit and some daylight.
By treating the watercolour paper with iron salts, the paper becomes sensitive to UV light. When the sun's rays hit the chemicals, the deep-blue colour appears and where objects have been placed on the paper, a print is created.
The result is handmade, beautifully indigo-blue art to collect, frame or give as a gift. A wonderful way to use your creativity, enjoyable for people of all ages.
The kit contains:
- Step-by-step instructions and tips (English, German, French and Dutch)
- 2 bottles of 20 ml with cyanotype solution, ready for mixing
- 12 watercolour paper postcards 10 x 15 cm
