Workshop for students
May 4th
In the textile industry of the future,
innovation, technology and
development are the key words. To keep designers
and companies updated on the newest trends and technologies,
students at Danish design schools are invited to a workshop in
smart textiles.
A thorough introduction to
electronic textiles and wearables will give the students a good
understanding of the various technologies behind. Students will get
a unique chance to learn about the challenges in
combining textiles and electronic components. Through the most
cutting edge uses of interactive applications, the workshop will
discuss what electronics can offer the design field.
The participating students will explore technologies in a
hands-on session where they will create a sample
of an electronic textile. The samples will form the basis for a
further concept development on the use of electronic textiles. In
the end of the workshop, students will present their results for
design teachers and invited companies.
The results from the workshop will be integrated into the
exhibition Pretty Smart Textiles and the students' experiences will
be communicated during the seminars for international students and
companies which will take place on 17th and 18th May.
The workshop is free, and will be held at TEKO on May
4th. It will be led by Melissa Coleman and Dorith Sjardijn
from Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague in Holland. Melissa Coleman
is e-textiles designer and software engineer, and Dorith Sjardijn
is a textile designer.
