New Textiles 2011

Due: Tuesday, May 3, 2011
See student designs here

Make a piece of flexible nonwoven fabric with some noteworthy characteristic. (An unusual blend of materials, interesting structural characteristics, embedded circuitry, special electrical properties, …?) Create a post that documents your project and add it to the Nonwoven category. Your page should include a photo of the finished nonwoven and a short description of the fabric and how it was built. Since you are also working on your final projects I am not expecting you to spend as much time as usual on this assignment or its documentation, but I wanted you to get a chance to play with some of these materials and techniques. A single photo and a few sentences is fine.

Bring your fabric to class on the 3rd for demos!
