This beautifully illustrated volume walks you through sun printing techniques using botanical specimens—leaves, flowers, and natural forms—to create striking blue-and-white designs on paper and fabric.

From foundational chemistry to advanced methods like wet cyanotype and watercolor layering, each chapter builds your confidence with clear instruction and troubleshooting tips.

Fourteen hands-on projects transform your practice into finished pieces: greeting cards, linen napkins, tote bags, and more.

Whether you're an artist exploring alternative processes or a curious maker seeking a meditative craft, this guide makes the magic of light and chemistry accessible to all skill levels.
