Cyanotype is a beautiful gift to humanity.


Meet Reinette Bothma Kydd

CyanoKydd was founded by Reinette in August 2022. She is granny of beautiful grandchildren gifted to her by her stunning daughters. Reinette is cyanotype enthusiast, who started on this journey years ago and has invested many hours experimenting with this alternative method of printing.  Sharing her knowledge with others in workshops is very important and enjoyable to her. Reinette sells her artwork at markets around the Western Cape.   The Cyanotype starter kits remain the most important product in the CyanoKydd store.  The enjoyment of creating art with this chemistry is so much fun and must be experienced by everyone at least once.

ABOUT US


Experience & trust built for 6 years


Our journey began with a fascination for the cyanotype process - its rich history, its intriguing chemistry, and its endless creative possibilities. Inspired by the work of pioneering cyanotypists and drawn to the ethereal beauty of cyanotype prints, we set out to create a space where fellow enthusiasts could explore, learn, and create together.

At Cyanokydd, we're committed to providing our customers with the highest quality cyanotype prints, kits, and supplies. Each product in our collection is carefully curated to ensure exceptional craftsmanship, durability, and aesthetic appeal.
