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.

  • If you would like to book me to deliver a Material Literacy Workshop at your place of work, please get in touch via email, olivia@d-n-g-g.com. We can then discuss dates and how I cna tailor the session best for your team.

    If you are an individual and would like to join a session, please see upcoming dates on the Material Literacy Workshops page of my website.

    Workshops are usually around two hours long.
