Materials & Equipment Required:
- A shallow box with a lid. This can be plastic, wood or even strong card. It needs to shut out all light. It needs to be larger than the largest size of paper that you would like to expose. e.g. slightly larger than A3 or tabloid. Under-bed storage boxes work well as long as they have a flat bottom to them.
- Two 5m coils of UV light strip.
- A sheet of heavy glass that is larger than your chosen paper size.
- A glue gun.
- A pen that writes on your box surface.
- A long ruler.
- Gaffer tape and card if your box has holes, eg hand holds that need to be blocked.
After making a UV Light Box, you should complete the Introduction to Cyanotypes online course and then check out all of the online professional development for art teachers here.
