Abstract:Textile and fashion designers are increasingly interested in integrating interactive technologies into their practice. However, traditional design education typically lacks support for them to develop technical digital and electronics skills alongside their expertise in materials. Refecting on outputs from an e-textile design workshop and 8-week design projects with four textile design students using an e-textile toolkit, and follow-up data collection with the students one year after the projects, we argue tha… Show more
“…In our previous work [8], we developed an e-textile toolkit specifically for textile and fashion designers with limited electronics knowledge. It offers support for technical aspects while enabling open-ended design exploration and promotes a material-centric approach, guiding designers to view interactive textile knowledge from a material perspective.…”
