Head to King’s Cross for a programme of dynamic events and exhibitions by The Mills Fabrica.
The innovation gallery and concept store Fabrica X will be shining a light on biomaterials and craftsmanship. The exhibition pays homage to ancient techniques while celebrating a new form of craft by scientists and bio-designers. Alongside this, explore zero-mile farm-to-fork produce via their vertical farming units, where fresh herbs are grown and harvested for use in the ground-floor café, Nourished Communities.
Fabrica Lab is hosting a series of biomaterial workshops, while Colorifix, one of The Mills Fabrica’s portfolio companies, is running two bacterial dye screen-printing workshops.
The Mills Fabrica is also hosting a day of enlightening talks and panels from the innovators behind trailblazing solutions for a better planet. They’re dedicated to supporting ‘techstyle’ (textile and apparel) and agrifood tech start-ups through their investment and incubation programme.
