  • DIY Bioplastics: Agar

    So, we’ve kicked off February’s workshop with a session on making your own bioplastics at Pinch Studio. I believe we all had fun working on our prototypes, mould making using aluminium foil and simple pantry ingredients (i.e. agar-agar). Everyone came up with ingenious prototypes – can’t wait to see what comes up for the upcoming workshop – on starches in March!

  • Netflix and Cider

    We ran our February workshop over the weekend, introducing cider – making, fermentation science and the *importance* of diverse yeast cultures. *Burp*

    Here’s some snippets from the workshop. DIY apple juicing, sugars, yeasts, and an airlock for anaerobic fermentation – the ciders are bubbling and happy. We concluded the workshop with a round of tasting and toasting glasses all around. We’ll be touching on the topic of bioplastics for our upcoming workshop, do keep a look out for it!
