What if you could turn alginate into yarn? 🧪🌊

Introducing ALGI YARN, an online hands-on workshop dedicated to exploring the textile possibilities of alginate.

Through my ongoing material research and experimentation, I have been developing different ways of transforming alginate into yarn-like structures, exploring their textures, colours, flexibility and potential for textile applications.

In this workshop, I’ll guide you through the process, sharing practical knowledge, techniques and recipes developed through my own experiments.

WHAT TO EXPECT

— A hands-on introduction to alginate yarn making
— Step-by-step practical demonstrations, from preparation to extrusion
— Recipes and insights to support your own material experiments
— A PDF with workshop slides and recipes
— Access to a dedicated Instagram chat for questions and exchange

A NOTE ON THIS EDITION

This will be the last live online edition of Algi Yarn Workshop in 2026. New ways to learn and explore alginate yarn will be introduced in the coming months.

Exploring what alginate means to me: a living material I work alongside, allowing its transformations to become part of how I experience and express Venice.

What if seaweed could become yarn? 🧪

August registrations are now open.

Over the past few years, I’ve developed an algae-based yarn technique through independent biomaterial research and material experimentation.

In this live online workshop, you’ll learn how to transform alginate into flexible, workable yarns using simple tools and accessible ingredients.

More than a step-by-step tutorial, you’ll learn how to understand the material, adapt the process, and continue experimenting independently.

✨ Live online workshop
✨ Small group session
✨ PDF guide included

Limited spots available.

Dark romance, grown from alginate. 𓍯𓂃𓊆ྀི🧪𓊇ྀི

A collaborative exploration of biomaterials and adornment.

Algi yarn created through the Emi BioLab practice, handcrafted into a lace-like necklace by and inspired by the aesthetic world of IAMX.

Matter translated through different gestures, processes, and imaginaries.

Finally a new date! I’m so happy to be doing this again and to keep experimenting together. 🪸🧪

If you’re fascinated by biomaterials and love experimentation, this workshop is for you!

Together we’ll explore alginates, a seaweed-derived bio-based material, and I’ll guide you through the creative process of making natural, sustainable, and innovative yarn with different recipes.

It’s a chance to discover new possibilities and experiment with your hands, all in an online, hands-on workshop.

When: June 20, 2026
Time: 6.30 PM (CEST)
Language: English
Where: Online
If you’re curious to explore and experiment, l’a truly love to have you join me.
