In this workshop, you’ll get hands-on with textiles, thread, and tools to create a wearable instrument: a Bluetooth MIDI controller! Using conductive fabrics and smart textile techniques, you’ll craft your own touch sensors that respond to your movements. You’ll then connect them to the Textile Touch to Tones converter, a device developed by Michelle Vossen. This little tool links your creation wirelessly to your phone and apps like Garageband. Turn a jacket or a pair of pants into a keyboard and let your fabric literally make music!

Note: The Textile Touch to Tones converter used during the workshop is not to take home. One device will remain available at the Zeepfabriek for further experimentation. Want to keep creating at home? You can purchase your own converter.

For anyone curious about interactive clothing, sound, and tech. No experience needed, you’ll learn everything step by step 😊
