Making With Mycelium : Mycomaterials Workshop

Mushroom Candle holders? Mushroom packaging? Mushroom leather? Mushroom buildings?!

Join Fat Fox Mushrooms for a hands on workshop exploring the practical and artistic usues of mycelium as part of The Fungi Festival series of events.

Mycelium (the dense, root-like structure of fungi) is a sustainable, renewable, and biodegradable material with a wide range of potential applications - from building materials to fashion and design. It is also strong, lightweight, and mouldable, making it a viable alternative to traditional materials.

In this workshop you'll learn about the amazing properties and potential for mycelium in architecture, design and art. You'll also have a chance to make your own mould and cast an object out of mycelium composite to take home and grow yourself!
