Marvelous Materials
Workshop description
Topic: Renewable materials
Participants will have the chance to experiment with creating bio-based materials and designing products from them.
What if wood were used to make glitter, algae to make hats, and recycled cardboard to create artificial leather? Renewable and wood-based raw materials can be turned into materials with surprising properties.Our current lifestyle consumes a lot of limited raw materials, so researching and developing renewable materials is important
The workshop introduces participants to laboratory work, material development, design, and multidisciplinary collaboration. During the workshop you will produce artificial leather and biodegradable glitter.
