This workshop delves into the concepts and practices of fabrication. Rooted in the Latin fabricationem, meaning skilled craftsmanship, fabrication involves the intentional creation of objects from disparate parts. Acts of fabrication span various cultural and creative domains, from art and literature to manufacturing and biomedicine, reflecting human ingenuity across history and sources such as objects, texts, and oral traditions. This interdisciplinary workshop invites participants to explore fabrication as a method for studying the history of bio-material technologies, starting with textiles. Through discussions of precirculated manuscripts, we aim to critically analyze and reinterpret the long-term epistemic significance of human efforts to produce bio-based or bio-inspired materials. The double aim of this workshop is an edited volume or special issue, and to build a network of scholars interested in methodologically reflexive scholarship in fabrication studies that bridges the humanities, arts, and sciences.
