Growing Bioplastic

Design Week 2016, Vilnius Academy of Art

I gave a hands-on workshop with bio-degradable material in Vilnius Academy of Art. Design Week’16 events were focused on the sustainability. During the workshop “Growing Bioplastic” students were trying 3 different recipes for making their own bioplastic. Students were experimenting with the quality of dryness and thickness as well. They were using 3 techniques: interlaying bioplastic with different organic objects/textile, food dyes and bubble maker. Later students presented their experiments, thought of further use and development using a bioplastic for their own projects.
