Bird Brooch Circuit
I have designed this simple e-textile light up bird brooch kit to help me teach soft circuitry.
​
Working with An Lanntair I have delivered this as a workshop for high school students throughout the islands.

E-textile
Playground
E-textile* Playground: Prototyping and Dialogues for Wellbeing:
This workshop invited participants to explore wellbeing - generating new knowledge, interpretations and definitions of wellbeing by using everyday craft and e-textile materials as well as electronic components. Participants worked together and engage in making to explore wellbeing using the New Economics Foundation Five Ways to Wellbeing model: Connect; Be Active; Keep Learning; Give; Take Notice. Through descriptive mapping, prototyping and scenario-based concept generation we a series of low fidelity e-textile prototypes were developed (explained in the longer video). Alongside the prototypes the workshop facilitated a dialogue around wellbeing looking at how we define it.

Light up
love birds
Birds of a feather sew together and now they light up too!
​
These workshops invite the public to join textile designers, Sara Nevay and Lucy Robertson, to create your very own light up love bird!
​
Participants learnt basic soft circuitry to make their bird light when it was paired with another.​
​
This workshop was part of Sara Nevay and Lucy’s research around crafting for wellbeing and social connectedness.
​
We also offer this workshop as a traditional textile workshops where you make the 3D bird and focus on decorating with traditional textile techniques and embellishments.
Colour and Light: patterns for textiles
Working with Thermochromics (heat reactive), Photochromic (UV reactive) and Inkodye this workshop at the V&A London was inspired by photographic processes, nature and pattern.
