Salt and sparks: A jewellery workshop
Run time: 11.30 – 12.30
Discover the fascinating science behind saltwater etching in this creative jewellery-making workshop.
This type of etching uses saltwater and electricity to create patterns and textures on metal surfaces.
Explore chemical reactions and find out how different metals react during the etching process.
This interactive session will also highlight the environmental benefits of saltwater etching, which is a more sustainable alternative to harmful chemical methods.
Liverpool-based VA Studio will be your guide as you design and make your own unique piece of etched jewellery to take home.
This event is part of the Museum of Liverpool takeover, a
day of free talks, workshops and activities across the museum. Join us on
Sunday 14 September 10.30-17.00.
