#textiledesign

1 post1 participant0 posts today

Students from Autonomous Design (Kask, Gent) came @greenfabric today for a workshop on modular design and #lasercut. Modules which Ben be inserted into each other are cut in waste fabric to for surfaces or 3d structures with no seam nor glue.
They either invented their own modules or used #opensource designs from oscircularfashion.com .
This workshop is derived from a #Fabricademy course.

Thanks to artist Amandine David for bringing her students!

Hello Mastodon,
Here's my #introduction post.

Former #graphicdesigner and #webdeveloper at #OpenSourcePublishing, I gradually turned my practice to #textiledesign. Still exploring free and open source software, programming but in relation to many textile techniques.

My main practice is #knitting, #machineknitting and #visiblemending. But I love to explore any #fiberarts related #technique.

In 2020, I joined the #textile #fablab @GreenFabric in #brussels where I like to build / #hack #machines for textile.

In 2024, I joined the #Fabricademy programme ( #textile and #technology) where I made digitally knitted garments to bypass #CCTV #facerecognition.
I am now a Fabricademy instructor!

A little picture as intro: My Mother was a Computer. Title borrowed from media theoretician Katherine N. Hayles. This is the opening piece of a series of knitted portraits of women who played a major role in the history of computing.

I'm super happy to find back my old family here in Lurk/Mastodon (you know who you are :) ). 💜
