Sharing: collab, Workshop¶
Workshop, Strate Design School¶
In December after the first presentation of the project, Pauline Gamore offer me the opportunity to make a workshop for the students of Strate design school in Lyon.
Context:
Who and Where:
- For the students of the first year of the Strate School of Design, Lyon inside the course of Biomaterials of Pauline Gamore.
- For : 4 classes of 17 students = 64 designers to become.
When:
- The 23th and 24th February for the first part.
- The 9th and 10th March for the second part for practicing with the kit.
Mycelium:
Most of the students use the Grown Bio Kit and another part use the "Trash of mycelium bloc".
I was really happy and surprised to see the reuse of the mycelium of bloc work really well, possible to use in the non steril environments. This was for me a big challenge to see how is possible to work with trash with more to myself.
Incubation: In the classroom they have a shelf, during their lesson I made an incubator shelf using transparent tarpaulin and disinfected it so that they could each place their creations on it.

Result of them creations¶
- Sculpture using trash of bloc of pleurotus
- A low table made with Grown Bio Kit
| Material & tools | Details |
|---|---|
| Material for the presentation, powerpoint | a Mac adapter, a projector, samples, mycelium growing, substrate |
| Feedstock mycelium | Grown Bio Kit, Trash of mycelium |
Remarks and Results¶
My first aim was to explore with students different mycelium for transmitting this curiosity and the link with the feedstock and being more deep with the matter we use when we create.
The utilization of plastic is something I'm not ok with and would like to change for the next.
Sharing time in the Textile Lab Lyon¶
Presentation on our research into the bio-manufacturing of materials
Interview: A l'Ecole de l'Anthropocène 2023 // Perspectiv Textile¶

English version
Hello today,
I am going to talk to you about a little known material that is often found in our plates. It is neither animal nor vegetable. It is related to the fungal kingdom.
The mycelium! The mycelium is the underground part of the mushroom. It is this network that we don't see much in our daily life and yet the one that allows mushrooms to grow.
What is incredible with the mycelium is its branched network organism created to communicate with different species around it. A true internet of the autonomous nature.
And if we connect a little more to the mycelium? Appeared on the surface of the Earth about 800 million years ago, we have much to learn from it.
Indeed, it is able to :
cleaning soil polluted by oil waste or capturing heavy metals to make kilos of oyster mushrooms appear and make vegetation and animals come back.
it has the super power to heal us, like the discovery of penicillin.
As studied in mycotherapy, it is the application of the medicinal virtues of mushrooms, in the treatment of wounds, stress, diabetes, the effects of menopause or cancer. Paul Stamets, Mycologist and researcher has notably succeeded in curing his mother of a cancer by using the mushroom Tramete Versicolor. used for a millennium in Asia and Europe for its incredible medicinal properties.
And there is also an alternative as biodegradable materials, "mycomaterials" which are low energy, using local resources such as our waste and low cost.
Imagine walking into your apartment,
and if your walls, your floors, your furniture, your lights, your wardrobe, your packaging and the contents of your fridge were completely compostable.
It would keep your space thermally, phonically insulated and would provide water and fire resistant properties.
Its properties would bring you health and food.
This world already exists and is gradually becoming a reality. The company Mogu is part of it, located not far from us in Italy. It manufactures acoustic panels and floor coverings made of mycelium.
Also the company Ecovative in the United States already offers ranges of leather, packaging and many alternatives of products made of mycelium.
Hermes, Stella McCartney as well as Annah-Ololade Sangosanya from the fabricademy program use it to make leather.
But one of my favorite projects is that of Emilie Luise Burfeind designer. She created a sneaker made of chiengora, a dog hair triocotated in 3d with a mycelium sole.
I hope this introduction to the world of fungi will make you want to own it.
Thank you

Big thanks to Marion Banon and Adrien for the invitation to participate at the podcast, PERSPECTIV TEXTILE with Laora Guillerm for this week of Anthropocène.
Context:
Event within the framework of ECOLE ANTHROPOCENE - À l'école de l'anthropocène 2023 (universite-lyon.fr) 5th edition 24-28 January 2023 / Radio Anthropocène from 26-28 January in resonance with the event. http://radio-anthropocene.fr/ (In partnership with Radio Bellevue Web, with the support of the City of Lyon.)
Purpose of the column:
To present a new material, a new approach, a new solution, a research path, a new perspective developed for the textile sector. This interview will be an opportunity for us to talk about our projects and/or our motivations and/or our commitments to think about the textile of tomorrow. Transmit, mediate and share are the key words of this initiative.
Definition:
The Anthropocene could have remained a geology term, but its scientific, economic, geographical, legal and social implications go far beyond the framework of geology, and each discipline can in fact contribute to the definition of the Anthropocene. An essential value of the Anthropocene concept is therefore its plural definition, which makes it an interdisciplinary well that profoundly questions the habitability of our planet.

Sidewalk¶
We made a sidewalk with Laora Guillerm for helping us to be more confident with our subject and having external opinions, sharing our project and speaking about more easily.
Collab¶
With Lauriane Beaumont we made a collab during our Fabricademy project, this was made naturally and feeting for each other on our subjects. We made a collab for the SCOBY part.
