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:

Get creative with paper! Explore different tools, techniques, and ideas inspired by this versatile material. Drop in during Innovator’s LAB open hours for self-directed making, experimentation, and plenty of room to follow your curiosity.

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.
