#Fabricademy bootcamp 2025
May 19→25

Don't miss this year's bootcamp in Brussels to encounter international fellows in the field of #textile, #engineering and #biology.

I am co-organizing it through the #fablab @GreenFabric and the #fabricademy team (@fabtextiles ).

A great opportunity to test Fabricademy themes and way of working through intense hands-on workshops. It will cover #biomaterials with #mycelium #fungi, #modulardesign, #machineknitting with the #kniterate machine, using the #opensourcehardware machines that we built, #etextile with thermochromic inks.

Don't miss also the #MakerFaire on the following week-end (May 26-27) with the Fabricademy exhibition of final projects and a workshop on #softrobotics.

More info on https://bootcamp2025.textile-academy.org.

Boosts are more than welcome!

In order to prepare my #textile #repair classes, I made a #visiblemending swatchbook. Its been a while that I wanted to have one object to show specific repairs when people ask what is possible to do with their damaged garments.

Before starting online classes, I will first see how the first class goes. Here's the programme:

Course 1/4: simple sewing stitches
Course 2/4: Darning and patches
Course 3/4: Knitwear repair level 1
Course 4/4: Knitwear repair level 2

I will give these classes in #brussels #bruxelles at the textile #fablab @greenfabric in French (one on one translation in English could be possible but the main explanations will be in French).

Students from Autonomous Design (Kask, Gent) came @greenfabric today for a workshop on modular design and #lasercut. Modules which Ben be inserted into each other are cut in waste fabric to for surfaces or 3d structures with no seam nor glue.
They either invented their own modules or used #opensource designs from https://oscircularfashion.com .
This workshop is derived from a #Fabricademy course.

Thanks to artist Amandine David for bringing her students!

The second group of #typedesign students from erg came @greenfabric today to experiment #PixelFonts with @knitting.
Those were knitted on a #kniterate machine allowing for #doublebedjacquard (not floating threads on the back) and up to 4 colours on one row.

Thanks @Ludi for coming et bonnes vacances !

Tomorrow is the online open day of #fabricademy , a 6 months course on textile and digital. It's an international course that you can follow at a node in your country. If there's no node where you are but you have access to #fablab machines, you can also follow the course with a remote mentor.

Tomorrow is the perfect moment to see what is the course about, projects made within the course, ask questions, etc.

I am myself a Fabricademy tutor at @greenfabric Brussels node.

This morning, #typedesign students from erg came to @greenfabric to experiment type and #knitting.
Lots of glitches on the #kniterate machine because I was not focused enough preparing the files.
I'm also curious to see their hand-embroidered letters on the white knit.

Thanks @Ludi for bringing the nice group!

To be continued in 2 weeks...

Yesterday evening, artist Anna Reutinger organised a knitting jam session at @greenfabric to knit scarves. The sales of these scarves will help Palestinian children.

6 persons, 3 hacked domestic machines, 1 #kniterate, 6 scarves, a lot of sweat and laugh!

No need for basic fit 💪

If you are in #brussels and you'd like one, let us know!
