Join 2022 Artist in Residence Victoria Manganiello for an electronic textiles weaving workshop with fiber optics.

Electronic textiles or e-textiles are fabrics that enable electronic components such as batteries, lights, sensors, and microcontrollers to be embedded in them. Participants will learn how create a basic weaving, then bring their weaving to life by introducing light into their textile piece. Victoria Manganiello is a textile artist, educator, producer and collaborator based in Brooklyn, NY. Victoria uses e-textiles in her own artistic practice and is also a professor of Textiles at NYU and Parson’s School of Design. Students will have the opportunity to contribute what they make to be included in Victoria’s upcoming exhibitions in the USA.

Date: Wednesday 6 July, 2pm - 5pm at the Australian Tapestry Workshop.
Duration: 3 hours.
Cost: $45 including materials. No experience necessary.
