About this class
Discover the fascinating potential of mycelium — a living, sustainable material.
In this practice-oriented creative workshop in Vienna, you will learn the basics of handling mushrooms and learn how to grow your own design objects. To do this, we will introduce you to ceramic techniques and use them to shape mycelium objects. You create unique pieces such as lampshades, vases or sculptural forms — a combination of natural growth and personal artistic expression.
No previous experience is necessary — just curiosity and creativity.
Details to remember
What to bring to the class
We have the opportunity to let the objects grow with us in the right conditions.
However, if you'd rather let it grow at home, bring a container to transport home.
What is included in the class?
We provide you with everything you need to work with mycelium — brood, sawdust and complete equipment for sterile work.
We'll also provide a few drinks to make work easier.
