{"product_id":"jacquard-solarfast-starter-kit","title":"Jacquard Solarfast Starter Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Jacquard Solarfast Starter Kit is an easy and exciting introduction to sun-powered printmaking for artists and curious creatives. Using light sensitive dyes that react to sunlight, the Jacquard SolarFast Sun Powered Starter Kit allows you to create detailed photographic prints, bold shadow designs and expressive artworks on fabric and paper using nothing more than UV light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJacquard Solarfast dyes only develop colour when exposed to sunlight, becoming permanent once washed. This makes the process simple, safe and highly engaging, with no heat setting, chemical fixing or steaming required. The dyes leave fabric completely soft to the touch and create a flat, zero relief finish on paper, making Jacquard Solarfast ideal for mixed media work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the Jacquard Solarfast Starter Kit, you can create photograms, photographic prints and painterly effects by placing objects, transparencies or folded materials onto a coated surface. Leaves, lace, tools, toys, film negatives or even shadows can all be used to block light and form images in minutes. It can also be used for painting, tie dye, screen printing, stamping and batik techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit is odourless and safe for children, making it suitable for classrooms, workshops and home studios. It can print up to approx. 8 average-size T-shirts or several dozen paper prints, depending on size and coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow it works:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eApply Jacquard SolarFast dye to fabric or heavy artist paper using a brush, sponge, brayer or squeegee. While the surface is still damp, expose it to direct sunlight. The colour develops as the light hits the dye. Once exposure is complete, wash the print with Jacquard Solarfast Wash to remove excess dye and reveal a permanent, lightfast image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKit contents:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3x 59 ml bottles of Jacquard Solarfast Dye in Orange, Violet and Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x 59 ml bottle of Jacquard Solarfast Wash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Film Marker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6x small sponges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x pair of gloves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8x T pins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3x Jacquard Solarfast film sheets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x backing board (21.7cm W x 27.5cm H)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x piece of cotton test fabric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick start guide and full instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable for use on:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural fabrics such as cotton, silk, hemp and linen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy artist papers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCanvas and fabric garments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for use with:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrushes, sponges, brayers or squeegees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransparency film for photographic negatives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFound objects, plants and textured materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMixed media drawing and painting tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Jacquard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44162218819718,"sku":"0015110","price":83.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/7213\/7350\/files\/0015110.jpg?v=1785145947","url":"https:\/\/www.eckersleys.com.au\/products\/jacquard-solarfast-starter-kit","provider":"Eckersley's Art \u0026 Craft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
