Colorful Figures Made of Salt

School Groups
Primary School

Are you ready to paint with salt, the very thing that we have used since prehistoric times to add flavor to food and preserve it for a long time? We will examine artist Bianca Bondi's work created with piles of salt. In our workshop, we will talk about salt lakes, salt mines, and salt’s journey to our tables. Then, we will craft unique and creative works using glue, salt and colorful paints.

The Battle of Varna

The Battle of Varna

Over the years of 1864 through 1876, Stanisław Chlebowski served Sultan Abdülaziz in Istanbul as his court painter. As it was, Abdülaziz disposed of considerable artistic talents of his own, and he actively involved himself in Chlebowski’s creative process, suggesting ideas for compositions –such as ballistic pieces praising the victories of Turkish arms.
