Mycelium Materials Workshop - 21st March

Learn how to grow materials instead of manufacturing them in this hands-on introduction to sculpting with mycelium

Mycelium Materials Workshop - 21st March

In this beginner-friendly session, you’ll cast your own living mycelium sculpture and take it home to finish. With just 7 people per workshop, it’s relaxed, practical, and guided throughout.

Location
Our studio next to Burnham Nurseries Ltd,
Unit 4, Forches Cross, Newton Abbot, TQ12 6PZ

What’s included

• Intro to mycelium as a material
• Hands-on casting session
• Lab tour + core equipment overview

You’ll finish your piece at home by incubating, demoulding, and drying — full guidance provided.

What to bring

Nothing — all materials included.

Optional: bring a mould (email ahead to check size/suitability).

Who it’s for
Beginners, artists, designers, makers, and the material-curious. No experience needed.

Come get your hands messy and leave with something alive.

Led by Ashley Goldbirch, mycelium material grower with 7+ years’ experience in sculpture, interiors, and bio-design.
