Understanding the roles of agency in learning can be expanded by taking up a posthumanist stance and examining material conversations in creative spaces-such as in this participant observation study set in a university textile technology art class.Using video/audio records, artifacts, and field notes, we categorize being, doing, and becoming agency of materials and the learning opportunities they offer in ecoprinting and computer/machine embroidery.Learning with becoming materials may depend more heavily on iteration.
