The FFAD program is a progressive design program allowing students and independent designers first access to our revolutionary mycelium foam and leather materials. Applications are on a rolling basis and the program duration is 1 semester-long with choice of September until December, or February until May. Proposals submitted must be a new inquiry, applicable major, builds upon current work or passion, and is a solution-focused project where mycelium is the answer. Accepted individuals will receive a variety of foam options with custom thicknesses and be guided on post-processing mycelium techniques. There is a Final Crit where individuals must present two prototypes, a gallery of images, a video explanation, and present the project to the Forager team. Outcomes of the program: work featured on our social channels, exhibitions in future conferences, semester internships possible, exhibited in the first mycelium showcase with other FFAD participants.
