Homma Meridian and the Secret of Invisible Ink/Fire Etching Workshop | APT Gallery

Join the exciting Homma Meridian and the Secret of Invisible Ink/Fire Etching Workshop in London. This workshop offers a unique opportunity to learn the secret technique of fire etching using Invisible Ink. Renowned artist Kaori Homma will reveal her expertise in the Aburidashi/Fire Etching process, which was historically utilized for espionage rather than artistic purposes.

Participants will not only gain hands-on experience creating their own fire etchings using invisible ink but will also have the chance to explore the fascinating history of this technique. Homma will present an illustrated talk on the origins of fire etching and its relevance to her own artistic practice, including her acclaimed Homma Meridian Project. As part of the Life Boat exhibition, the gallery will feature an installation of the Homma Meridian Project.

The workshop will also mark the international launch of a publication on The Homma Meridian in collaboration with Street Road Artists Space in Pennsylvania, United States. Homma's concept aims to challenge the boundaries and demarcations that exist in our increasingly multicultural and multiethnic world. Through the use of ephemeral materials, Homma draws an imaginary line that points towards the North and South Pole, creating a substitute for the Prime Meridian.

The Homma Meridian and the Secret of Invisible Ink/Fire Etching Workshop welcomes individuals of all backgrounds, including those with no prior experience in the arts. While the workshop is primarily aimed at adults, children are also welcome if supervised by an accompanying adult. All materials will be provided, and participants will have the opportunity to take their creations home.
