Four-part Course: 

Sunday, 3/20 - Kombucha 

Sunday, 3/27 - Mycelium 

Sunday, 4/3 - Slime Mold 

Sunday, 4/10 - Bioluminescence 

From 11:00AM - 2:00PM

Step into the fascinating world of biomaterials in this four-week course. Together we'll explore the unique challenges and exciting possibilities of creating with living organisms.

We will:

• Grow a paper-like material out of SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast), cultivated in Kombucha

• Work with mycelium, the roots of mushrooms, to grow objects

• Design elaborate patterns using slime mold and explore its ability to problem solve

• Culture and paint with bioluminescence bacteria and foxfire fungi

In addition to learning the practicalities of growing and caring for these microbe-based materials, we'll also discover their applications for art, design, textiles, sustainability and more. Prompts will be provided for specific projects, but each participant will also be free to develop their own concept to build on with each organism used throughout the course. Each person will go home with a variety of their own living creations!
