Material Matters is a hands-on, practical learning journey for people interested in the material transition of our homes, streets and neighbourhoods to collectively move towards a low-carbon, regenerative built environment that supports an ecologically safe and socially just planet for all life, both human and the more-than-human.

Participation will primarily take the form of four hands-on in person workshops each centred around a working with different natural materials alongside some theoretical knowledge in relation to the material. These in person sessions will be supported by online sessions and an optional learning visit. The series will wrap up with a collaborative launch of our research report through a creative showcase in the form of a ‘material farmers market’ which all workshop peers are invited to contribute.
