Artists, makers, and curious minds don’t just use materials; they think with them. Materials Lab is an ongoing series in the Innovator’s LAB that explores one material each month through creative experimentation and hands-on discovery.

What to Expect:

We’re creating with ink! Experiment with tools, process, technique, or idea inspired by that material, or drop in anytime during Innovator’s LAB open hours to experiment, explore, and engage in self-directed, open-ended making.

Each week there’s something new! Explore our featured material in depth with different tools, techniques, and creative ideas. Demos rotate on a weekly basis, beginning on Wednesdays.

Materials Lab Hours:

Wednesday – Friday + Sunday – Monday from 9am-3pm (Closed for lunch at 12pm-1pm)

Please note: Materials Lab  will not be offered on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
