The Invasive Materials workshop was presented during the FAB16 Montreal: Fabricating the Commons week to present the results of the biomaterials project De Souche.
Conducted at the Milieux Speculative Life Biolab in 2021, De Souche demonstrated a method for transforming the invasive plant Eurasian Watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum) into bio-objects. This workshop illustrates the potential for invasive plants to be interpreted not as a nuisance but as a gift.
