We are very excited that our amazing April workshop will be held at the V&A Sackler Centre.

Come and transform your favorite/least favorite teacup and saucer into an interactive art work which shivers when your tea is getting cold or shakes when you get too close!

Bring along your own teacup and saucer to modify using the Arduino board, sensors, motors and Arduino software.

This workshop is part of the MzTEK project Chi-TEK, a celebration of women working in arts and technology, and offers a tongue in cheek show case of what women can really achieve around a kitchen table. A selection of teacups made in this workshop will be displayed as part of the Chi-TEK showcase in the V&A Sackler Centre throughout September and October.
