'Alpha-L.E.Dress'-ing at Victoria Baths

We had an fantastic day at FutureEverything's HandMade event in the amazing historical Victoria Baths in Manchester. As part of the Open Design Research Group, Brunel University, alongside @rob_dPhillips, @Weft_Lab ran some exciting soft circuit making workshops and ain interactive question on werable technologies.
A very busy day with lots of enthusiastic makers and contributors. WeftLab ran a electronic textile letter making workshop in which participants created a textile letter with a simple electronic circuit and an LED, where each letter accumulated to the co-creation of the Alpha-L.E.Dress. Now we have the fun 'cryptic' task of configuring a tweet out of the light up letters! Thank you to everyone for taking part and your contribution to make this a big success. We had many positive comments and lots of support. If anyone is interested the workshop project, we have the instructions available as a pdf - please drop us a tweet or email.
