Foundations

An introduction to fashion, sound, and physical interaction, combining lectures with hands-on making. Designed for makers with little or no experience in sewing, embedded systems, electronics, or sound design.

• Learn the fundamentals through introductory lectures and guided practical sessions
• Discover conductive materials, sensors, and their connection to sound
• Try basic sewing, electronics, and sound design techniques
• Create small wearable sound pieces or prototypes, rather than a complete garment
• Workshop materials provided
• Receive a certificate of completion

Wearable Instruments

A longer studio intensive for developing a more complex wearable sound instrument or interactive textile sculpture. Designed for participants with little or no experience, with time to build skills through lectures, guided exercises, and studio work.

• Develop skills in sewing, embedded systems, electronics, and sound design
• Work with Bela, conductive materials, and sensors
• Combine textile construction with physical computing
• Design, build, and share a wearable sound instrument or interactive textile sculpture
• Workshop materials provided
• Receive a certificate of completion

Performance Lab

Length shaped by your project scope and group size.

A collaborative lab exploring wearable sound in performance. The programme is developed around your group and project, with room for deeper experimentation, making, and rehearsal.

• Investigate movement and musical interaction
• Develop or refine a wearable instrument or interactive textile sculpture
• Shape a final performance or exhibition showcase
• Workshop materials provided
• Receive a certificate of completion
