Material Literacy 101: Hands on Workshop

04 Feb 2026
Workshop Stage

Working with a wide collection of material samples, we’ll explore where materials come from, what they’re made of, and the stories they carry. Together, we’ll use these insights to develop practical frameworks for making more conscious material decisions, grounded in circular thinking and human connection.

This in-person workshop offers the chance to slow down, touch, compare, question, and discuss materials. Perfect for anyone working with materials, including designers, makers, interior designers, students, and professionals who want to deepen their material knowledge and build confidence in more responsible material choices.
