Ectoplasm: A Spiritual Sensation (Picture This!)
Advertisement
Picture This! returns with an exploration of ectoplasm and the peculiar history of spiritualism on Sunday, July 12 from 1-3 PM.
Beginning with a lecture on the spiritualist movement and Victorian séance culture, participants will learn about the mysterious substance believed to manifest during paranormal encounters: ectoplasm. Participants will learn how photographers created convincing ectoplasm images by employing illusion and early photographic techniques. Following the lecture, attendees are invited to a hands-on workshop to recreate ectoplasm photographs using the same methods as the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.

**Please bring your own camera for the workshop, we will supply the materials for the workshop but not the cameras to participants.**
