CYMAPLATE KIT LAUNCHED

The new CymPlate Kit offers inspiration to all who wish to study the emergent science of cymatics in an affordable and fun way.

John Stuart Reid commented, “Cymatics holds a great potential to help humanity across a wide range of scientific disciplines and there is no better place to start learning the fundamentals of this new field than with the humble yet sophisticated CymaPlate”.

Each kit includes detailed instructions on how to make beautiful cymatic patterns & capture them forever as works of art. Also included is a STEAM class (Science Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) to provide a comprehensive guide to the science of visible sound, written in easy to understand language that is accessible to all students from ages 9 to 90 (recommended for 4th grade & up).

Field trials were held at the London-based Sci-Art-Met conference in May 2016, where John Stuart Reid gave an inspiring talk entitled “Cymatics: A New Frontier in Science” and a fun workshop entitled “Cymatics: A new Frontier in Art”. Participants to the workshop watched a demonstration of the CymaPlate, including how to save the cymatic patterns as permanent art pieces. Sarah Best, an art teacher who was one of the participants, commented, "I was glad of the opportunity to participate in John Stuart Reid’s workshop at the Sci-Art-Met symposium. With a background in art education and a love of music I was delighted to see the visual representation of sound with the CymaPlate and as a result I am now planning to include cymatics in my own art practice and teaching. John Stuart Reid's research and contribution to the field of cymatics is both inspiring and fascinating."

Development of the CymaPlate kit took several months during which a range of different metals and thicknesses were tested to identify the optimum range of resonance. The new CymaPlate kit is suitable for students ages 9 to 90, to provide a fun and educational introduction to the science of cymatics.
