Back by popular demand: our soft-circuit workshop at the V&A.

Bring a sparkle to your sofa and learn to make your cushions light up when you squeeze or rattle them.

By using conductive thread, LEDs, and E-textiles, you will learn how to build a ‘soft circuit’ into a cushion, and make your interiors interactive. The workshop will lead you through embedding electronics into a cushion provided, but feel free to bring your own textiles or garments to embed the circuit into if you wish.

Some (slightly dodgy) pics (from my rubbish camera) from the soft-circuit synth workshop on the 30th March. The workshop was held aboard the the awesome MS Stubnitz  as part of the Music Hackspace Hackship event, a one day festival of musical hacking and contemporary sonic arts.

Come and make a cute Chatbot that talks back! This course is an introduction to soft-circuits and E-textiles, and basics of electronics for wearable technology.

Using conductive materials for basic soft-circuit interaction techniques, the workshop will hack and embed a recordable device into your Chatbot, playing back Chatbot chatter.
