This November, in partnership with the Crafts Council, the V&A and the RSA, we will be staging a London-wide extravaganza of materials and making, called Make:Shift:Do. As part of this, we will be hosting a public open day around the theme of Carbon and a selection of specialist masterclasses. This will be our last open day of 2014.

Come along to explore the diverse element of Carbon; make graphene, chisel coal, drink a carbonated drink, taste carbonated food and explore the potentials of carbon fibre. We will have one of the world's lightest carbon fibre bike frames for you to hold and there will be a chance to see the latest nano tube twine, straight from the lab! There will also be a number of our favourite carbon related materials from our Materials library for your to explore, including our fluorescent diamonds.
