Workshop traditional × digital crafts → experimenting with the fablab devices to revisit traditional crafts @Green Fabric

 

Traditional crafts and digital practices are not necessarily opposites.

 

They can actually inform each other to result in hybrid practices: things that cannot be made entirely by hand or by machine.

 

Objects that can relate of culture, heritage, but which tease our lives immersed in digital technology.

 

This worksession will explore the machines of the textile fablab Green Fabric to revisit traditional crafts with a contemporary twist.

 

Digital machines will make it possible to create complex structures, generative patterns, etc.

 

You will work together with invited artists/designers from EUNIC countries to speculate, prototype, experiment. It is not a classical vertical one-to-many workshop but a more horizontal way of working by sharing knowledge and competences.

 

Available machines:

- digital knitting machines

- embroidery machine

- dry or wet felting machines

- 3D printer

- lasercutter

 

To participate to this worksession, you need to have at least one of these competences:

- mastering a craft that you think can gain from a machine or digital process

- mastering a generalist programming language such a Python, C…

- mastering parametric 3D modelization (Blender geometry nodes, Grasshopper…)

 

By registering, you agree to come for the 2 whole days.
