Natural Materials, Techniques and Finishes

Join Hudson Valley Lighting Group for a dynamic lunchtime CEU in which we take a closer look at how natural materials shape lighting design, blending aesthetics, craftsmanship, and sustainability. Participants will learn to identify five key material groups, understand their sourcing and preparation, and discover their ecological qualities, including renewability and biodegradability. Real-world examples will demonstrate how these materials enhance both the form and atmosphere of lighting while supporting responsible design choices.

This 1 credit CEU will be presented by Jorganna Trachtenberg and Mary del Cueto/Reanna Rieman.

Enjoy an afternoon of inspiration, education, and networking over a light lunch provided for all design attendees.
