Jacquard SolarFast is a light-sensitive dye that develops color when exposed to sunlight or UV light, fixing naturally without heat or chemicals.
Use it to create sun prints, photograms, and shadow images on paper or fabric — letting sunlight become your paintbrush. ☀️
Coat your surface, add objects, stencils, or negatives, and watch your design slowly appear.
SolarFast is odorless, non-toxic, and safe for kids, leaving fabrics soft and papers smooth — perfect for mixed-media, textile, and beach-inspired art.
The Teal shade combines the serenity of blue with the vitality of green, producing cool, luminous prints that feel like ocean light — ideal for summer or abstract compositions.
