ReClaym our Compost

Reclaym our Compost Banner

For this project we use composted food waste to create ReClaym: a fully circular biomaterial that reflects the makers' relationship with food. We correspondingly propose Intimate Making as an approach for working with ReClaym that leverages familiar, hands-on techniques to enhance maker-material communication, which in turn leads to a deeper material understanding. Through Intimate Making we create a collection of personalized biodegradable applications made from ReClaym that include garden paraphernalia, games, and items found in the home.
