Materials Collection, Center for Craft

An interactive materials archive for the Center for Craft in Asheville, North Carolina. Craftwork curated more than 100 tactile samples, from clay, wood, glass, and fiber to seaweed-based fibers, bioplastics, and algae-derived inks, organized into common, manufactured, meta, and novel sustainable materials. Visitors open drawers to handle each material, then scan a QR code to explore its story through a digital catalog. Funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
