2018
Since its inception the team behind Catalytic Clothing continue to investigate the technical and funding partnerships required to advance the large scale data sets that are needed to determine efficacy, safety for any ultimate public use. At 2018 these discussions continue.

There is therefore no current activity of the project in the public domain, other than for exhibition purposes.

Dec 2013 to Jan 2015: Field of Jeans inspires Catalytic Learning - an educational project for students and teachers

A long project with Thomas Tallis school-50 Jeans were planted in a grassy space next to the main road outside the school. This unusual prompt kick started a teacher inset day, where ideas for a Catalytic Learning Day, held in April 2014 took inspiration from Catalytic Clothing itself and this Field of Jeans . A day of projects based learning took place, involving Years 7 to 11 and across the curriculum. Film link https://vimeo.com/90874903
