Material Memory Studio — Workshop
Material Memory: Botanicals
From Bloom to Material
The flowers from our opening night did not disappear. They were dried, pressed, and kept. This workshop turns what was in bloom into something that lasts — bioplastic embedded objects and natural dye colour experiments. No prior experience needed.
Who This Is For
Workshop Details
Session Flow
Part 1
Material Theory
Brief introduction to bioplastic science and natural dye extraction — how plants become material.
Part 2
Bioplastic Making
Embed fresh or pressed botanicals into bioplastic sheets. Each piece is unique — shaped by what the plant carries.
Take home: your bioplastic object
Part 3
Dye Extraction & Colour Experiments
Extract pigment from petals and leaves, then create mordanted dye test swatches. Natural colour is always a surprise.
Take home: colour experiment swatches

The Becoming
After the opening night, the flowers were sorted, laid out, and pressed. What was in bloom becomes the raw material for the workshop.
From the Opening Night
The botanicals for this workshop come from the flowers that filled Material Memory Studio on our opening night, April 20, 2026. Nothing goes to waste — the flowers become the material.
