Event Details


This course will introduce makers to an exciting new palate of conductive threads and fabrics. Unique properties and qualities of each material will be discussed.

You will learn how to construct your own textile sensors (switches, potentiometers, pressure, tilt and flex sensors, etc) as novel controls for electronics.

Potential applications include: wearable technology, textile-based gaming interfaces, novel interfaces and controls for electronic music, 3D architectural and product interfaces, and much more.

Basic sewing skills (hand and machine sewing) would be nice but not required.

If you don't have any sewing experience, please review this video.
