Product Specifications
  • Honest Materials: We use Italian-textured Fabriano paper. It’s heavy enough to handle the water and archival enough to hold the blue for many years.
  • No Darkroom Required: This isn’t about expensive gear. It’s about chemistry, tap water, and the light hitting your windowsill. It’s as at home in a city flat as it is in a garden.
  • The Circular Approach: We don’t believe in buying new for the sake of it. Each kit includes a pre-loved mixing bowl – thrifted and cleaned – giving a second life to an object while you create something new.
What’s Inside the Box
  • 20 Sheets of A5 Fabriano Paper: Substantial, heavyweight 160gsm textured art paper, chosen to hold a deep blue.
  • Cyanotype Chemistry: Pre-measured dry alternative photography components ready to be woken up with tap water.
  • Sponge Brushes: For the physical, creative act of coating the light-sensitive emulsion on the paper.
  • A Pre-loved Mixing Bowl: A unique, pre-loved and cleaned piece chosen by me, to add joy to your workshop process.
