Create your own floral charms with eco-creative Lē Matthew, founder of Degrade, an experimental slow-fashion label promoting biodegradable materials. Using petals, leaves, and other organic waste sourced from the Flower Craftexhibition, Matthew will lead participants in creating personal charms with organic materials, show samples of recent biomaterial experiments, and discuss their exploration and creation of accessories and wearables that are recyclable, ethically disposable, and/or compostable.
This workshop is ongoing and drop-in while supplies last. Free with Museum admission.
