Sunprint Kit

Make your own solar prints with the power of the Sun and cyanotype technology.

An easy and exciting DIY project to do that connects you to nature and science. 

Kit contains: 12 x 10 x10 cm sheets and 1 x acrylic overlay.

Great for a group activity to build connection - a workshop, class group or family activity.

Developed by educators at the Lawrence Hall of Science to encourage an interest in the photographic process using only sun, water, and a bit of imagination.

Since being developed in 1975, the Sunprint Kit has provided fun, learning and creative stimulation for the curious of all ages and continues on with the mission to inspire and foster the learning of science and mathematics for all.

Place a fern, flower, or other object on the special paper and set it in the sun briefly. Then rinse the paper in water and watch as a beautiful long-lasting image appears!

How it works: Objects that eclipse the sun’s light will show up in white, with the rest of the paper turning a vibrant Prussian Blue. Gradients between these two ends are easy to achieve. Make prints of physical objects or transfer digital images via transparency sheet. Layering techniques, motion, and manipulation of the paper itself are all implements in the Sunprint Kit user’s toolbox.
