Cyanotype and Photo-Reactive Dye on Fabric

Also called Heliographic Art by some, sun painting or printing utilizes either the radiant infrared or the ultra-violet rays of the sun to create images on fabric. It works because the paint or the dye you are using reacts to the sun in some way. There are three different products we carry that can utilize the rays of the sun to produce art on fabric or clothing.
