Got Keen? Open it in the appAbout
This workshop invites you to explore the relationship between textiles, electronics and sound. Through embroidery with conductive materials, you will bring softness into your relationship with technology, reflecting on how digital devices have shaped your life.
What you will be doing
The workshop begins with a guided blind drawing exercise, sketching a piece of technology from your past without looking at the page. From there, you will embroider your memories onto fabric using beginner friendly techniques, integrating conductive thread and copper tape to create a soft circuit.
Your finished textile will be connected to Sandy's custom designed Touching Wires and a bela board, allowing your circuit to generate sound through touch. You will leave with a unique interactive artwork and new skills at the intersection of craft and technology.
What you will need to bring
All materials will be provided.
This workshop is best suited for
Anyone curious about the meeting point of craft and technology. No prior experience in embroidery or electronics is required.
