Weaving Circuits with Victoria Manganiello

In this workshop we will explore the basics of conductive and resistive yarns for the purposes of weaving circuits. Small components like batteries, lights and switches can be embedded into the woven structure creating soft and flexible electronics. Students will learn the basics of weaving and the basics of electrical circuitry. We will engage in discussion about e-textiles and talk about ancient technologies like weaving alongside current/future technologies like electrical engineering. While these approaches can be applied to a variety of textile based techniques like sewing, knitting, etc., we will focus on weaving and the woven structure.
