The 2025 Make Good symposium brings together leading foresters, material specialists, authors, architects, producers and makers to discuss the potential of our woodland resources, how we can cultivate them and regenerate the land on which they grow. As such, it takes its cue from Material Cultures’ pioneering research into bark, natural glue and pine needles currently on display at the V&A in Woodland Goods.
The symposium forms part of the fourth iteration of the Make Good: Rethinking Material Futures programme, supported by John Makepeace OBE. The ten-year project launched in 2022 and encompasses an annual display in the Dr Susan Weber Gallery of Furniture, an annual symposium and a programme of acquisitions dedicated to exploring the use of natural, renewable materials in design and architecture at a time of climate emergency.
