Thermochromic workshop at Vilnius Art Academy, 9-11th of October, 2017
Thermochromic workshop at Vilnius Art Academy, 9-11th of October, 2017

As a part of her PhD research, Marjan has created and proposed a pedagogical tool for teaching the behaviour of thermochromic inks to students of textile design. The printed colour swatches demonstrated the colour transitions of thermochromic inks at different temperatures. The structured tasks created opportunities for students to learn the principles of colour transition by actually experiencing them, and the […]
