The goal of this study group is to adopt the flipped classroom study mode to teach ourselves the development of new textile technologies using existing online resources, as well as getting support from a local DIY BIO community.
We use Fabricademy as the framework of our study group. Fabricademy is an amazing course organised jointly by FabTextiles and TextileLab Amsterdam . It is a transdisciplinary course that focuses on the development of new technologies applied in the textile industry, in its broad range of applications, from the fashion industry to the upcoming wearable market. The two phase program will last 6 months, with approximately 3 months of seminars and learning modules and three months focusing on individual in depth applied project research.

Reynald De Guzman
Hello! I am Reynald and I am a self-taught naturalist with a passion for biology and new ideas. I am mostly invested in the study of entomology and animal behaviour. in my free time, I rear and collect insect specimens and share whatever insights that come my way. Although my goal is to broaden our understanding of what is already known, I take long for the exciting journey that would take me there and hope you’d join us on that adventure!
