Common components of art and alchemy were materials, instruments, apparatus as well as processes and experiments. Laboratories of Art investigates ways in which artists' workshops could be said to be sites of alchemy. Exploring the relationship between art, knowledge, and technology, speakers discuss various visual and decorative arts: glassmaking, metallurgy, sculpture, goldsmithing, ceramics, and painting.
