Use the power of the sun to capture the beauty of nature with this step-by-step guide to cyanotype printing.

Cyanotype printing is a simple photographic process that uses the sun’s rays to create a chemical reaction, allowing you to easily capture stunning prints, using everything from ferns and feathers to lace and leaves. This accessible art form is the perfect way to blend time in nature with creativity. A few inexpensive supplies and a sunny day are all you need to start creating.  Author Madge Evers has been teaching the cyanotype technique for years, while also developing her own thriving creative practice, making her the perfect guide and teacher. 

In Printing with the Sun, you’ll learn the basics of the cyanotype process with step-by-step photographs and clear instructions. Once you’ve mastered the fundamentals, explore experimental techniques using everything from soap bubbles to washing soda to create inventive new takes on cyanotype printing. Over a dozen projects will build your printmaking skills and introduce you to new aspects of the art. The book also features stunning works of art from cyanotype artists across the country to spark your creative imagination.
