Ealaín Solas: Build & Explore Polarised Light
Details
Discover the hidden colours and patterns inside everyday transparent materials.
Join us for Ealaín Solas: Build & Explore Polarised Light, a hands-on workshop where art, science and making come together.
You will make your own simple polarised-light viewer, then use it to explore tape, plastics, screens and other everyday objects in a completely new way. With the right combination of light and polarising film, familiar materials can reveal bright colours, stress patterns and unexpected geometric designs.
During the workshop, you will:
- Make a polarised-light viewer to take home
- Explore colourful effects in transparent materials
- Experiment with tape, plastics and other everyday objects
- Learn a little about how polarised light works
- Create your own light-based patterns and images
No previous experience is needed. All tools and materials are provided.
Please note: This workshop runs from 3:30 pm to 6:00 pm. It is also Sunday Craft Night at TOG, starting at 6:30 pm, so you are welcome to stay on afterwards for more crafting fun.
Places are limited, so please book in advance through Eventbrite:
