DESCRIPTION:Cost: $25&#13\;\nPlease bring:&#13\;\n- Scissors&#13\;\n- A b
 ag or garment to modify – please choose something made of a non-stretch 
 fabric.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nDreaming of bike gloves that light up to keep you
  visible at night\, or an awesome illuminated costume? Or maybe you’d li
 ke to add a bit of extra sparkle to your living room with a glowing thro
 w pillow… Whatever project you have in mind\, if you’re curious about th
 e process of integrating electronics into fabric\, this workshop is a gr
 eat place to start.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nShannon Henry and Cat Poole will star
 t by touching on some of the interesting things being developed with eTe
 xtile methods and useful resources\, then we’ll spend some hands on time
  laying out a basic LED circuit and sewing it on to fabric using conduct
 ive thread. You’ll learn how to convert standard LEDs (and other electro
 nic components) into sew-able ones\, and how to use standard textile fas
 tenings like zippers and snaps to switch your project on and off\, plus 
 lots of tips on how to make your project easier and make sure it lasts.&
 #13\;\n&#13\;\nNo prior electronics or sewing experience required. Condu
 ctive thread and electronic components will be provided.&#13\;\n&#13\;\n

 gs that blend the science &amp\; tech world with art and crafts. She has
  been crafting with fabric since she could handle safety scissors\, and 
 began integrating electronics into her art in 2008. Her eTextile work ha
 s been shown in San Francisco\, New York\, and Vancouver BC. She also de
 velops sewn electronics kits and tutorials\, which you can find at her w
 ebsite\, Polymathdesignlab.com.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nCat Poole is a one woman 
 instigator of perception bending mayhem. Through “Discovering Empowermen
 t Through Creativity” workshops and Upcycled Electronics\, she encourage
 s all to defy their programming and void all warranties. Find out more a
