This edition of the Critical Making workshop series focuses on extracting pigments from bacteria and experimenting with the results at TextileLab Amsterdam. Cecilia Raspanti and Ista Boszhard will introduce workshop participants to their ongoing work with the potential of bacterial pigments and demonstrate exactly how one can extract colour from bacteria.
TextileLab Amsterdam is primarily interested in these bacterial pigments as a source of more sustainable textile dyes, but the possibilities for this versatile substance are endless. We'd like to invite creative makers and designers to come work with this exciting new resource and come up with new applications. Could bacterial pigments support your own creative practice? Could you develop a new type of ink or paint? Come learn a new technique and experiment with the results.
Entrance is € 5,- (incl. drinks).
