As part of the Beirut Design Week 2013, Tawlet Souk El Tayeb will be hosting a workshop by Suzanne Lee called “Biocouture: Grow Your Own Material”. <\/p>\n
Biocouture is about using biomaterials, or grown materials, to design and create things, particularly fashion. In this workshop, Ms. Lee will provide participants with an intro to biocouture and the materials they will be growing and working with. <\/p>\n
There will be a demonstration of the fermentation method and further demonstrations of colouring techniques which involve fruits and vegetables. And finally the drying and moulding phase. As the process of growing the material takes some time, nothing will be produced or designed at the end of the workshop. Instead Suzanne will have a presentation showing the different applications she has used to broaden participant\u2019s minds about how they can develop and use biomaterials in their own work.<\/p>\n
Participants will be introduced to a method for growing materials using nothing other than simple food-based ingredients and kitchen utensils. An interactive workshop where you will learn a recipe, method and discuss local alternatives and applications. This workshop is best suited for fashion designers and creatives interested in experimentation and organic material.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
