​​SPECULATIVE MATERIALS [2024] 
was a 3-day workshop designed and facilitated by BLAST Studio, Sarah King and Kaitlin Ferguson [April 2024] 

Selected alongside 17 other artists, scientists, architects and designers to participate in a programme that worked through provocations with materials and technologies to imagine eco-scenarios 80 years into the future, Marie-Louise explored bio-crete recipes during the workshops using reprocessed waste mussel shells to create a concrete-like material to think about post-extractivist legacies, landscapes and repairative futures.. whilst also creating biomaterial 3D prints to speculate on futures of mutualism and thriving symbiotic structures
