Imagin Art Kit Cyanotype Silverlit

Imagin Art Cyanotype Kit: Prussian blue photographs on paper and fabric

The Imagin Art Cyanotype Kit allows you to create images with deep, vibrant shades of Prussian blue on paper or fabric, using a traditional photographic technique suitable for children aged 3 and over. The principle is simple: mix the two photosensitive solutions provided, brush them onto the surface, leave to dry, then expose to sunlight with an object or a transparent film placed on top. The image appears within a few minutes; the surface is then rinsed with water and left to dry.

The kit contains all the materials needed to work on a variety of different surfaces: paper, postcards, bookmarks and a fabric pouch to decorate, as well as 9 pattern templates.

A step-by-step guide to the cyanotype technique with this comprehensive kit

• Mix the two photosensitive solutions and apply with a brush to paper or fabric
• Leave to dry, then place a natural object, transparent film or a negative on the surface
• Expose to sunlight for a few minutes to reveal the image
• Rinse with water to bring out the Prussian blue designs and leave to dry
• Various substrates included: cyanotype papers, postcards, bookmarks and a fabric pouch
• 9 pattern templates provided to guide your first attempts

By placing a fern, a feather or a sheet of transparent film on the coated substrate, each exposure to sunlight produces a different image. The result depends on the duration of exposure and the objects used, making each creation unique. The decorated fabric pouch can be used as an accessory or given as a gift.
