Current presentations and workshops:
Alchemy and the birth of modern science
- an illustrated introduction to some of history's edgeworkers; 90 mins
With origins in Egypt and Babylon, alchemy is the story of humankind's earliest quest to understand and bring into balance the inner and outer worlds. Before their discovery by modern science, alchemical initiates manifested microscopes, submarines, gunpowder, alchohol, porcelain and much, much more.
Alchemists were the midwives of ideas and methods that were to become the science of our modern age. 2000 years ago, wherever there was an edge there was an alchemist.
This is their story.
