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 the Grace Farms Education Team. Inspired by the exhibit With Every Fiber: Pigment\, Stone\, Glass\, families can explore the unique properties of building materials and use their imaginations to create new applications for them. \nOn October 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.
