'Sew your own wearable musical interface' workshop by Hannah Perner Wilson and Mika Satomi at DIY festival this year

The DIY festival organized by the Swiss Mechatronic Art Society, which takes place from Dec 5-7, 2008 in Zurich, Switzerland, is going to take creativity to another level. Thanks to the 'Sew your own wearable musical interface' workshop that will be conducted by Hannah Perner Wilson and Mika Satomi. This interesting workshop will introduce the participants to the wonders of e-textiles and the DIY concept of wearable technology. The workshop will start with participants taking apart cheap electronic musical toys and transforming them with the help of e-textile technologies into soft, wearable objects.To help the participants begin their designs, easy to follow circuit patterns will be provided with an introduction on how to transfer those e-textile circuits onto any piece of clothing that the participants bring with them.

The Electronic Textile workshop will be held on Dec 6th, so all those interested better hurry to Zurich right away. I can't wait to see the interesting designs that will come up once the workshop is over!
