SUMMARY:Basic Cyanotype & Memory-Making
DESCRIPTION:In this hands-on workshop\, participants will explore ways of preserving the beauty of our short Calgary summer through the historic cyanotype process. Using locally gathered botanical materials\, we will create a series of rich blue-and-white prints that capture details of seasonal plant life. \nParticipants will learn about the history of cyanotypes and be guided through each step of the process\, including preparing paper\, composing images\, exposing prints\, and developing the final works. Along the way\, we will reflect on the act of noticing—paying attention to small\, often overlooked details in the landscape as a way of documenting and preserving our experience of summer in the city. \nUsing some of the samples created\, each participant will create a small handmade book of botanical cyanotypes\, designed to be stored in a tin. This becomes a personal archive of the season\, bringing together individual prints into a meaningful and personal collection. \nAll materials are included – but you can bring flowers and leaves!  No experience necessary.

SUMMARY:Synth Soundbath: Prophet-5
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Studio Bell\, home of the National Music Centre\, for Synth Soundbath\, a new monthly series exploring the intersection of wellness and music technology. \nPart immersive listening session\, part interpretive learning experience\, this program invites participants to experience sound as both a creative and sensory force. Held on the last Sunday of each month\, each session spotlights a different synthesizer from NMC’s collection. \nOften associated with experimental music rather than wellness practices\, synthesizers offer a unique lens into the science of sound and the body’s response to vibration\, expanding how we listen\, feel\, and understand music’s role in well-being. \nThis session highlights the Sequential Prophet-5\, released in 1978. The Prophet-5 was the first fully programmable polyphonic synthesizer\, combining analog warmth with patch memory for instant recall. Its five-voice design and rich\, stable tone made it a defining instrument of late-’70s and early-’80s electronic\, pop\, and new wave music. \nGuests are encouraged to bring a yoga mat\, blanket\, or anything that helps them get comfortable as they settle in.

SUMMARY:Cyanotype Workshop: Experimenting with Paper and Fabric
DESCRIPTION:This workshop expands the cyanotype process onto several kinds of paper and fabrics\, using the different materials to create different results. Using both botanical materials and photographic imagery\, participants will explore how light\, texture can create different results to your cyanotype prints.You will learn which fabrics and papers work best for cyanotype printing\, and which to avoid\, while being guided through the full process of preparing the surface\, arranging compositions\, exposing prints\, and developing final results. Through a series of small studies\, participants will build a collection of samples that highlight the unique qualities of cyanotype on cloth.After experimenting we will print a composition in a mini canvas bag\, that you can take home to store the samples we created. \nAll materials are included – but you can bring flowers and leaves!  No experience necessary.

SUMMARY:CIBC Backbeat: Bow & Tell with James Watson
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturdays in PlayLab for a hands-on violin experience designed for young explorers and future musicians alike! Presented by Jubilee Arts in partnership with the National Music Centre\, and featuring live performances alongside guided instruction from professional violinists\, including musicians from the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra\, this interactive program invites children of all ages and skill levels to step into the world of music-making.  \nPlayLab is a hands-on sound playground where young visitors can discover how music works. With interactive stations that feature strings\, wind\, percussion\, and electronic instruments\, kids experiment with the building blocks of sound—pitch\, volume\, timbre\, and vibration. Pluck a string\, strike a drum\, blow into an organ\, or shape sound on a synth to hear how instruments create their unique voices. Designed for curiosity and creativity\, PlayLab encourages visitors to listen closely\, explore freely\, and learn how musicians turn sound into music.
