We’re delighted to welcome South London Raspberry Jam to the Space.
This session is based around wearables – from jewellery to bio-monitoring to tracking - and anything in between (and beyond).
This is a Tourettes and Autism friendly event, and suitable for all abilities - whether you’ve never typed a line of code or have created your own version of Minecraft.
It’s aimed at 9 to 15 year olds (with some flexibility). Siblings welcome - they often get drawn into the coding!
Any members are more than welcome to bring kids along
Grace is wondering if anyone with a working knowledge of the sewing machines will be around on Sunday as she has a project in mind to create a mobile case with Lilypad type devices sewn in.
She’s on the lookout for donors for Lilypads and conductive thread…
Sorry I’m not sure I’ll be available to help with sewing on Sunday, I’m pretty behind on my own project timelines and will take advantage of the Sunday to catch up. Maybe someone from @textilestechs can step in.
Okay @StudioNelle! I have made something on my sewing machine today, and I should be fine. Even if I resort to just using mine! It would be nice if a textile tech is around though. Thanks for offering to help anyway
The old machine works very well and is set up and ready to go, however when I was at the space on Monday the other machines were out of action, sorry.
I can’t make it on sunday sorry
Just to add had a look at the Janome and moved the screw from left to right which has allowed the foot holder (which was in the sewing box attached to machine) to be stabilised. works fine.
The Anker 328 sewing machine also appears to be in perfect working order when tested manually. I should have a spare electric foot at home that matches this old style machine, I will try bring along Sat or Sun.
Located sewing foot 3 sewing machines in working order and ready for sewing.
Maxxed out returning from Newmarket with the makerspace made kites, I have a few inches of conductive thread in my box, and an idea to lasercut conductive ripstop nylon into circuit diagrams, so I’m keeping on this thread, but not possible until after the first week in July, sorry.
Just a reminder that this is on today in the clean room from 1:45 to about 4. If anyone’s in the space beforehand please have a check round and help make the sure the space is presentable for our guests.
