Mycelium Design | 4 Week Hands on Workshop

Step into the fascinating world of fungi and learn how to grow, shape, and design with living mycelium. 

Over four weeks, this hands-on class will introduce you to the full spectrum of cultivating and designing with mycelium—from the basics of growth to creative fabrication. Meeting Sunday evenings (6–8 PM) at Kupfer Project Spaces, the class is limited to six participants to ensure an intimate, hands-on learning experience. Each person will be provided with live mycelium throughout the course.

The first two sessions focus on learning how to care for and scale up your mycelium—skills you can carry into a home or lab setting. In the second half of the course, the focus shifts toward design and application. With guidance from the instructor, you will explore creative and practical uses of mycelium through a final project of your choice. Possible directions include:

• Scaling up for fruiting and harvesting oyster mushrooms
• Growing mushrooms on natural fabrics
• Designing moulds to guide mycelium growth into form
• Experimenting with biobased design applications

Each project offers a chance to work directly with living material while learning techniques that can be adapted for future independent practice.
