Please join us January 23 - March 17 for SAQA Seminar 2023 - Material Matters. This program is developed by the Education Committee and is completely free for SAQA members. Not a SAQA member yet? Join today
Explore the materials we use, from those we commonly think of to the more futuristic substances being developed. Over eight weeks, you can enjoy video conversations, galleries, resources, and optional activities.
You can join anytime - all the information is available online and you can review on your own time. The only scheduled activities are the optional Friday Live Chats (see below). You will receive an email on Monday afternoon with links to the resources and pre-recorded content for each topic:
Week 1: Introduction
Week 2: Sustainability
Week 3: Cotton
Week 4: Other plant-based fibers
Week 5: Wool
Week 6: Silk
Week 7: Futuristic
Week 8: Manmade
Weekly Zoom chats each Friday (view schedule) will allow you to discuss the content with other participants in small breakout rooms. It's a great way to meet new people! These chats are not instructional in nature and are completely optional.
Since most of these Zoom chats are casual conversations in breakout rooms, they will not be recorded. However, some weeks we will be joined by special guests and we will record their presentations. Details will be included in your weekly SAQA Seminar emails.
