SUMMARY:Materials Studio
DESCRIPTION:Families are invited to play\, build\, deconstruct\, reimagine\, and discover the life cycle of everyday materials in our built environment with our education team. Inspired by materials in the exhibit With Every Fiber: Pigment\, Stone\, Glass\, families can explore the unique properties of these materials and use their imaginations to create new applications for them. \nOnOctober 11\, 2025\, Grace Farms unveiled a new iteration of the With Every Fiber exhibit\, which offers insights into forced labor in the building materials supply chain. A portion of With Every Fiber was adapted and included in the Intelligens CANON at the 19th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia\, curated by Carlo Ratti\, open through November 2025. \nMaterials Studio is for ages 4 – 11 with adult caregivers. This is free and included with daily registration.

Frank has brought that experience to the Foundation’s work on ethical and sustainable supply chains across sectors\, including tea\, coffee\, food\, and architecture. Frank hosts a wide variety of tea education programs on the vast world of tea\, its history\, and on the ethical and sustainable production of tea and coffee. This serves as a critical entry point to educating people about ethical and sustainable supply chains in other fields.
