Despite being inspired by the greatest fictional spy in film history, we don’t want to keep this project to ourselves.
In order to increase access to the Mº Lab Field Kit, the Mº Lab Field Notebook, which highlights all the projects in the Mº Lab Field Kit will be publicly available, along with a “shopping list” of materials to buy – some that you can already find at home- in order to explore fabric science.
