During this time we’ve been refining our skills in some of the most basic techniques like making hard-soft connections and detachable parts. But we have also been confronted with learning bespoke tailoring skills in taking a customer’s ideas from concept to robust artifact.</div><div class="entrybody" style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 12px;"> </div><div class="entrybody" style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 12px;">We are planning to hold KOBA school of Wickedfabrics in August 2018.</div><div class="entrybody" style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 12px;"> </div><div class="entrybody" style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 12px;">The KOBA School of Wicked Fabrics is intended as a time and place for us to formalize these skills and pass them on to a small group of students.We’re planning two separate weeks of school: A FOUNDATION week for absolute e-textile beginners which will introduce you to all the skills you need to get started. A TAILORING week for professionals from diverse backgrounds who want to learn to develop e-textile garments from scratch to fitting. Both weeks will include a mix of hands-on tutorials and free working time.<p class="">See details >> <a href="http://www.kobakant.at/KOBA/koba-school-of-wickedfabrics/" class="">http://www.kobakant.at/KOBA/koba-school-of-wickedfabrics/</a> </p></div></h1><h2 class="">Wicked Foundations</h2><h1 style="font-family: sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><div class="entrybody" style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 12px;"><p class=""><strong class="">August 6th-11th, 2018</strong> <br class="">at KOBA, Görlitzer Strasse 72 10997 Berlin, Germany</p>This course will start with introductions to e-textile materials, basic electronics and programming.
