Technology and Tradition

Hard components such as PCB boards and motors are difficult to mount on soft and stretchy surfaces. Making prototypes both functional and hardwearing is a difficult task.

Where large machines cannot go, work done by hand is invaluable. Much of the work is too delicate for machines and therefore a working knowledge of historical technique and ability to adapt that knowledge is imparitive.

Combining coding and textiles means a lot of trial and error, many calculations, intricate sketches and oftentimes a table full of wires to test your codes before you integrate your circuits into your design.
