PLATFORM FOR
BIO-BASED STUDIES

The Material Way is a new collaborative platform for material-based studies focused on supporting curious creators who strive to craft a more holistic, local, and nature-minded future. This initiative was founded by Curator Rita Trindade (Through Objects) and Creative Director Bonnie Hvillum (Natural Material Studio) and it emerges as a natural extension of their previous collaboration on providing online courses on local biomaterials.
