ReConnecting with Matter with Maelie Coral

€80.00

The Workshop

ReConnecting with Matter is a hands-on workshop that invites you to reconnect with materials as a starting point for creative practice. Rather than approaching materials as predefined solutions, the workshop focuses on understanding what matter is, where it comes from, how it forms, and how it transforms.

The Details

Through simple observation and discussion, we’ll explore different types of materials, from natural, processed,and  living, to engineered, and the processes behind them. The goal is not to teach materials science in an academic way, but to build an intuitive and practical understanding of matter, without requiring any prior scientific background.

By learning to “read” materials - how they behave, evolve, and carry constraints and possibilities- you will learn to integrate material understanding into your own creative processes. The workshop bridges scientific thinking and making, offering tools to better choose, question, and work with materials in design, art, and creative practices, while opening perspectives on sustainable and alternative material approaches.

Dates:
Session One: June 16th, 2026. 6:00 PM. CET. Online (1.5hrs)
Session Two: June 23rd, 2026. 6:00 PM. CET. Online (1.5hrs)
