In this workshop, students will explore the basics of e-textiles. Using materials like conductive thread and fabric, sewable lights, and other modified electrical components, we will combine traditional textile techniques with basic electronic components. We will rethink the possibility of our classic fiber tools like weaving looms, knitting machines, and sewing machines and explore the Haystack Fab Lab to push the boundaries of technology and craft. Students do not need a background in electronics, but at least a basic understanding of some textile application(s) is encouraged and preferred. All levels welcome.
