Participants will be able to make their own fabric sensors and then connect it to a multimeter, LED or an arduino+Processing to visualize the sensor data.

Location: The Swedish School of Textile
Date: March 22-26th 2010
In this five days workshop, we aim to experiment with the mapping of the body movements and technological audio/visual feedbacks.
The workshop start with introduction to arduino, and basic electronics circuit knowledge. We will also explore with Farmata library for Arduino to exchange data with software on your [...]

Wearable Sound Experiments, or why does my knee bark and my armpit squeak?
This four day workshop introduces basic soft electronics techniques for constructing fabric sensors and wearable circuits. Instead of using soldering irons and wire, we will use sewing needles and conductive thread.

January 27 2010, TEI, Cambridge, MA
15 participants, 6 hours
This workshop will explore the use of low-cost materials and tools to build textile-based interfaces. We will introduce a range methods for handcrafting textile sensors and circuitry.

14 December 2009, AIA, Lisbon, Portugal
15 participants, 6 hours
Constructing textile sensors and circuitry from available and affordable materials and tools. Implementing these in interaction scenarios to explore the qualities of textiles in human-computer interaction.

We provide participants with: Hackable sound devices and programmable controllers, DIY fabric sensors, conductive fabrics and threads, lots of stretchy fabric, thread and sewing machines…

1 February 2009
Plug.in
Basel, Switzerland
This workshop aims to be an introduction into soft fabric electronic circuits and a DIY concept of wearable technology. Both in our own projects and in workshops we choose to introduce affordable, available, off-the-shelf materials, basic techniques and detailed instructions, so that workshop participants can continue to develop their own ideas and [...]

5-6 December 2008
DIY Art and Technology Festival
Zurich, Switzerland
This workshop aims to be a short introduction into simple soft fabric electronic circuits. The materials used are cheap and off the shelf, so that the practice introduced in the workshop can be continued at home. Sewing, soldering and experimenting with materials is not hard and should [...]

also: Massage me: How to get what you want
This workshop references the motivations behind creating Massage me. We wanted a free massage, so we decided to modify an existing scenario for our benefit. Participants are encouraged to consider alternative interaction scenarios concerning console gaming and must think about how different, and possibly soft input methods, [...]

This workshop gives a basic overview of how to get analog output from fabric pressure and bend sensors into the computer.
