DIY Fabric Cyanotype Kit

This cyanotype kit brings the historic photographic technique of 1842 directly to textile work. The process is straightforward: chemically sensitize fabric to UV light, compose your imagery using objects or transparent negatives, expose to sunlight, and develop rich Prussian blue prints. The kit supplies pre-measured chemistry and substrate fabric, with enough reagents for additional textile experimentation beyond the included samples. Ideal for artists exploring alternative photographic methods, this sun-printing approach requires no darkroom infrastructure—only daylight and intentional composition. A refined entry point for those investigating analogue processes and their contemporary applications in fiber arts.

The Chrysler Museum has a large collection of cyanotypes, which you can explore online here.
