Biomaterials: how to create new materials from organic waste
“I am very glad to have come this far with you. I hope you have enjoyed the lessons and that you have learned what you have learned to create your sample of materials that you can then modify and experiment with according to your needs and desires. Now let's go over some tips for doing the project: • Remember to document the entire process, this will help you move forward with the investigation. Choose a sketchbook or notebook that you like to start documenting • Start thinking about waste as possibilities. There is some waste accumulated in your neighborhood in your region. Do you have a café nearby where they throw away used coffee? • Remember that the development of biomaterials outside and within artistic practice requires patience and trial and error. • Play with color and shapes, you may be surprised by the results and obtain unexpected mixtures of textures and colors.
