Ealaín Solas: Build & Explore Polarised Light
Ever wondered what hidden colours and patterns are waiting inside ordinary transparent materials? Join us at TOG Hackerspace on Sunday 12 July for Ealaín Solas: Build & Explore Polarised Light , a hands-on workshop where art, science and making come together. Using simple materials, you will make your own polarised-light viewer and 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, these 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, and all tools and materials are provided. It is a relaxed, beginner-friendly workshop for anyone interested in light, colour, science, art or making. Date: Sunday 12 July 2026 Time: 3:30 pm–6:00 pm Cost: €20 Location: TOG Hackerspace, Unit 1B Motor City, Kylemore Road, Dublin 12 Places are limited, so booking is essential. https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/ealain-solas-build-explore-polarised-light-tickets-1992782032704?aff=oddtdtcreator Stay for Craft Night It is also Sunday Craft Night at TOG.
