The Material Resource Centre hosted an interesting talk and workshop on 26 February 2019 to equip artists and designers with the latest trends of eco materials. It introduced an interior eco material, Biocera, to the participants. This material is Takachiho’s highest-quality shirasu-based interior-wall plaster product. It offers a wide range of benefits such as outstanding deodorizing and humidity-conditioning. It helps to constitute a comfortable and cozy indoor living environment with its ability to purify indoor air. During the workshop, participants were able to grasp practical tips and techniques for applying this eco material with hands-on experience.
