Printing with the Sun

“Madge Evers’ book on cyanotypes is a beautiful balance of striking imagery, clear instruction, and deep creative inspiration. Every page feels thoughtful and considered, inviting you not just to learn the process, but to really see the creative possibilities of cyanotype printing. What makes this book stand out is how seamlessly it blends practical guidance with artistic vision. In addition to the beautifully illustrated process, and the exciting possibilities Madge explores, I especially enjoyed the inclusion of other artists who also work with cyanotypes. Seeing how different makers approach the process adds so much richness to the book and opens up many new and interesting ways of working. It’s generous in its teaching while also feeling like a work of art in its own right and one you’ll want to return to again and again, both for reference and inspiration. A truly special book for artists and makers interested in cyanotypes, alternative processes, paper and textile-based creativity.”–Kate Ward, Textile Artist, CEO and Founder of Zen Stitching“A comprehensive guide to the cyanotype in its entirety, this book is a true work of art! Madge has combined the history and science of the process in an easy to understand yet detailed way that invites the reader into the process. From novice to established cyanotype artist, this book has something to offer everyone. It is a true celebration of the cyanotype and all that it is!”–Sarah Bourne Rafferty, author of Botanical Cyanotypes, artist @atwaterdesigns“Whether you’re a student, a teacher, or an accomplished artist trying a new medium, this book is for you! Equally practical and delightful, Madge’s approach to cyanotypes invites everyone to try their hand at projects both simple and sophisticated–with bonus content for art historians and collectors!”–Juliet Feibel, PhD, Executive Director ArtsWorcester“Who wouldn’t want to make gorgeous, unique prints using plants from the garden and light from the sun? Madge Evers makes the process of creating cyanotypes accessible and fun!”–Helen Hiebert, author of Weaving with Paper and Papermaking with Garden Plants & Common Weeds
