Jacquard SolarFast is a light-sensitive dye that develops color only when exposed to sunlight or UV light, setting naturally without heat or chemicals.
With it, you can create sun prints, photograms, and shadow images on fabric or paper — transforming shadow and light into an ethereal work of art. ✨
Paint your surface, place negatives, leaves, or lace, and let the light reveal its secret image. The result is rich in tone and texture, full of atmosphere.
The Violet shade blends mystery and romance, producing deep purple tones with soft blue undertones — perfect for florals, portraits, and expressive mixed-media art.
