A hands-on workshop at Lifefabs Institute where you learn how liquid cultures are used to grow pure mycelium materials. You work in a BSL-1 lab environment and pick up practical skills in sterile technique, growth media and handling cultures, including how to inoculate your own jars.
The workshop is designed for designers and makers, so the scientific methods are made approachable for creative practice, even outside the lab. You also learn to work with specialised mycelium cultivation equipment and leave with your own live liquid culture to keep growing.
Led by London-based biodesigner Akir Hall, a biofabrication and material researcher who has taught several mycelium and biomaterial workshops before.
