Soft Circuits with Victoria Manganiello Fall 2024

In this workshop we will explore the basics of conductive and resistive yarns for the purposes of creating soft circuits in textiles. Small components like batteries, lights and switches can be embedded into textile structures creating soft and flexible electronics. Students will learn the basics of electrical circuitry and how to incorporate it into their creative practice. We will engage in discussion about e-textiles and talk about ancient technologies like weaving, knitting, and sewing alongside current/future technologies like electrical engineering.
