Bernadette Russell explores alchemy and its themes of transformation to inspire creative writing.
Time & Location
22 Jul 2026, 19:00 – 21:00
Online and Delayed Viewing
"In this online workshop, Bernadette Russell invites participants to draw on the world of alchemy to create their own writing. Tracing alchemy's history from Ancient Egypt to Europe, the session explores the Philosopher’s Stone and its symbolism of transformation, healing and renewal. The group considers how alchemical ideas have shaped folklore, myth and modern literature, from Fullmetal Alchemist to A Discovery of Witches, alongside famous alchemists like Mary the Prophetess and Isaac Newton. Along the way, participants explore alchemy as a metaphor for personal growth – the transmutation of difficulty into wisdom – before moving into prompts and free writing exercises to create original work. Suitable for both beginners and experienced writers."

DR. SAVITA CHAHAR
PROFESSOR
DEPARTMENT OF BOTANY
GOVERNMENT MEERA GIRLS COLLEGE UDAIPUR, RAJASTHAN
"The world healthcare system experiences its fundamental development through the transition from traditional herbal medicine to modern Botanical Alchemy which scientists use to create standardized medicines from unprocessed plant substances. The study investigates how medicinal plants operate at the biochemical level
while focusing on the molecular behavior of secondary metabolites that include alkaloids and flavonoids and terpenoids. The research investigates how ethnobotanical practices evolved to extract active components from plants because we want to compare the effectiveness of entourage effects against single molecule treatments.
This study demonstrates how pharmaceutical requirements need to work together with traditional ecological knowledge based on our analysis of recent clinical studies that include case examinations of Artemisinin and Taxol. The study investigates two aspects which include the challenges faced during standardization processes
and the increasing importance of synthetic biology. The research demonstrates that botanical alchemy functions as a critical research approach which develops multiple targets to tackle the increasing problems of antibiotic resistance and chronic inflammation in modern medicine."

"When you think of alchemy, you probably picture Medieval mad scientists frantically experimenting with hazardous materials to produce gold. While this was definitely part of their work, alchemists also used symbols to encode their work and shield their secrets from others, infusing their scientific quest with esotericism and spirituality. In this article, we’ll show you the most common and important alchemical symbols and explain what they mean. We’ve also got insight from professional spiritualists, philosophers, and Freemasons to help you understand how these symbols were used and the legacy of alchemy in modern science"

Alchemical Union
Gold and silver collide in a harmonious dance of duality. By blending the warmth of gold with the coolness of silver, this piece explores the beautiful complexity of human relationships—where two different souls weave their destinies together.
The Metaleks Touch:
The interplay between the two metallic tones creates a stunning visual depth that changes with the viewing angle. The sharp definition of the woven mesh against the smooth metallic skin makes it a captivating centerpiece for any contemporary interior looking for a touch of "industrial romance."

Ana Matisse Donefer-Hickie
"The widespread patronage of talented alchemists led to important innovations in the decorative arts, most notably in the production of vitreous materials, such as glass and enamel. Both mediums involved the application of fire to transform one material into another (i.e., sand and ash into luminous glass), and as such had longstanding practical and theoretical ties to alchemy. This association added another layer of interest to these beautiful pieces: they were tangible evidence of success in material transformation."

| Newton's commentary on Starkey's Introitus Apertus |

"Newton also left extended commentary on a famous alchemical text, Introitus apertus ad occlusum regis palatium (An Open Entrance to the Closed Palace of the King). This book is attributed to George Starkey, a colonial American alchemist who moved from New England to London at age 22 and worked under the tutelage of Robert Boyle. The book is written in a veiled and heavily symbolic language featuring fiery dragons, rabid dogs, and Diana’s doves — traditional alchemical cover-names referring to specific chemical substances. This florid imagery, however, stands in stark contrast to Starkey’s private “chymical” notebooks, which are considered models of scholarly clarity. In their laboratories, alchemists seem to have preferred dry recipes with precise annotations, keeping the spectacle and symbolism for public presentation."
