PAR – Cyanotype for the modern maker
PAR, which stands for Print Art Read, is a creative organization that combines art, craft and education in one inspiring concept.

With their carefully composed DIY art kits, PAR offers everyone – from curious beginners to experienced artists – the opportunity to get started with this special technique themselves. Everything you need is included in the kit: from materials and instructions to inspiring examples.
