Highly recommend!
The Solar Photography Kit is such a fun and creative way to dive into cyanotype printing! It lets you use sunlight to create stunning blue prints of everyday objects on paper or fabric, and honestly, it's a blast to use. It's affordable, engaging, and leaves you with something beautiful to show for your efforts.

Interesting and truly Uncommon find!
Bought this for my partner as a Christmas gift and he was absolutely delighted by it! This isn't a common art kit that one can find in any general store, so I was really happy to be able to get this for my partner and surprise him with a unique art experience! The package came on time and in great condition. Definitely looking forward to getting one for myself!

What are the pros and cons of using the paper sheets vs the cloth sheets?
Verified reply from Allison
Both options produce the same result! With the cloth prints, there is the fabric's texture and thinness that makes it unique! You can stitch the fabric, attach the fabric to stretchers and the fabric will look similar to a painting. The paper version is a sturdier print. Both can be hand painted and colored using markers.

Refills for the paper?
Verified reply from Amy
Hi K! Aside from the instructions and the plastic storage bag, this kit is primarily just the paper (or fabric), so if you needed a refill you could just purchase the same thing again! We do not have the paper without the instructions or bag.

Does the fabric come with finished edges or is it going to Frey?
Verified reply from Michael T
The fabric is unfinished. With time and wear, yes it will eventually fray.

The fabric sheets appear to arrive wrinkled. Can the fabric sheets be ironed prior to use without affecting the use of the sheet? Or after the image has been set?
Verified reply from Nichole
Because the fabric is cotton, it's safe to iron before or after setting the image. This won't affect the image.Just be sure to limit the fabric exposure to light before you're ready to print something.
- Jenny
Do you have to keep the finished product out of light?
Verified reply from Martin
Not at all. Once you "develop" the image by soaking it in water after taking the photograph to your liking, the image is permanent.

Does one kit include paper AND cloth sheets??
Verified reply from Marisa
Sorry for the confusion - no, the paper kit comes with paper sheets and the fabric kit comes with cloth. You can see the two options when you click on the "Select Item" pulldown menu.
