DIY Material Kits Program
MA Eco-Social Design Semester
2024/25 WS Rough Cut brings you a completely natural material DIY set to create your very own linocut prints!
Give your discarded peanut shells the chance to become the canvas for your next artwork. In combination with tapioca and potato starch, glycerin and water they will form a flexible yet durable material that is perfect for carving - and it even smells good;)
To leave your mark you need some colors too! Using fruit and vegetable scraps, we will guide you through turning them into pigments. Together with rice flour as a thickening agent you will learn how to make fully natural printmaking colors.
Visit FabLab and try it yourself!

DIY Material Kits
Orange peels, peanut shells, avocado seeds, the daily consumption of our favorite foods often goes together with leftovers. What if we give food waste a second life? Taking scraps as the starting point to create something new? With these Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Material Kits we document and share our hands-on research with recipes to inspire and enable (future) applications.
