MATERIAL TO WEAR? Bio materials and additive manufacturing principals

This immersive session will shine a spotlight on two cutting-edge domains: biomaterials and additive manufacturing. Through insightful discussions, we’ll connect the dots between these technologies and the fashion industry, exploring the solutions that have emerged so far.

This workshop also offers a hands-on experience, allowing you to roll up your sleeves and create your own DIY biomaterials. By doing so, you’ll gain a unique perspective on the living, breathing essence of materials, cultivating an awareness of their need for care and attention.

Our ultimate goal? To empower creatives and designers with the tools and knowledge to drive sustainable and innovative solutions, leading to new, exciting creative expressions. By working with DIY biomaterials, we awaken a profound sense of responsibility, underscoring the potential for humans and nature to collaborate, offering a promising route out of the predicament of unsustainable materials.
