Making Your Own Salt Piece |
|
This activity was developed by Jennifer Strick, one of our "Explainers," the Exploratorium's docents who also staffed the permanent exhibition. She became very intrigued with artist Jörg Lenzlinger's Salt Piece exhibit and wanted to make one of her own. She began experimenting at home, and came up with the simple recipe below, which uses water and ordinary table salt (just like parts of Jörg Linzlinger's piece). We have included this activity as something for you to consider doing with visitors, museum professionals or for teachers who may be visiting your museum. It works relatively quickly, showing results in just a few days.
