We’re starting off the new year with a wonderful (and free) e-textile happening hosted by the lovely hacker space CrashSpaceLA on Thursday 3 February 2011.
The event is spearheaded by Lynne Bruning. Anouk Wipprecht and I will also be guest lecturers.
Please do come with your questions and curiosities in hand. Better yet, bring a recent project for the show & tell! I have personally known these lovely ladies virtually and I am thrilled to get to meet them in person.

We’re excited to host a introduction to the world of electronic textiles and wearable computers. Every designer can learn the state of art in textiles. Join the discussion with this all ages lecture and hands on show and tell of conductive threads, fabrics and eTextile hardware with Lynne Bruning, award winning textile artist, eTextile innovator and producer of the Maker Faire eTextile fashion shows. She will share her knowledge of integrating computer hardware with textiles, sewing and weaving. Please bring your projects, ideas and questions for this intimate discussion opportunity.
