Intro to Jacquard Tie dye Kit

Fun for all ages, this kit is a fantastic introduction to tie dye! The classic tie dye never seems to go out of style. Now you can create yourself a vibrant tie dye piece with these easy-to-use kits.

Jacquard’s Cyanotype Kit makes sun printing easier than ever and includes everything you need to get started. The chemistry comes premeasured in lightproof black bottles. Simply fill each bottle with water to create Stock Solutions A & B, and then mix the two in equal parts to create the cyanotype sensitizer. Coat the included Hahnemühle Platinum Rag Fine Art Paper with the sensitizer and, once dry, create prints by exposing to sunlight or UV (10-20 minutes, depending on conditions), using the included glass printing frame and objects or a film negative to create an image. After exposure, prints are processed in a tray of cool water and allowed to air dry. The kit comes with enough material to make at least 12 (8.5x11in/ 21.59 x 27.94cm) prints. Multi-lingual packaging is compliant in 15+ countries.

 

Procion MX dyes are “cold water dyes” that are fixed chemically instead of with heat. This unique property sets Procion MX apart from all other dyes and establishes them as the undisputed king of backyard dyeing, batik and tie dye. Because Procion MX dyes can be used away from the stovetop, they are also the ideal colors for shibori, ice dyeing, tub and low water immersion dyeing, printing, direct painting and other “alternative” dye applications.

Dorland’s Wax used as a protective topcoat for sealing and finishing a variety of media from oil paintings to collage, Dorland’s Wax is especially popular as a varnish for watercolor and gouache paintings. It provides a durable waterproof finish, protecting the artwork from moisture, smudging, dust, and fingerprints, while adding depth to color and allowing for glassless framing and display. Applied with a fine cloth or gloved hand, it is easy to use, and the finish is malleable: leave it matte, or buff with a rag after drying for a uniform satin gloss.
