Material Literacy Workshops
Material education to support you and your team in making more sustainable choices, creating better designs and winning more clients.
In these interactive workshops, we delve into material sustainability and circular design principles through hands-on exploration of my curated materials library. You'll explore concepts such as waste utilisation, bio-materials, and material life cycles, and learn to select appropriate materials for various applications. Ideal for beginners and seasoned designers alike, this workshop equips you with the confidence and knowledge to make informed, choices for your projects and clients.

These sessions are aimed at anyone working with or specifying materials. You could be a creative agency, an interior design studio, or a brand. I find these sessions work really well when your whole team is involved, creating a great knowledge base across departments.
If you are a smaller team, or solo business owner I run ticketed Material Literacy Sessions. These are also a great place to meet like-minded creatives.
