╳ Thread Count Vignette N° 3

  Students gathered around and watched in amazement, as Thread Count Lab founders, Eleanor and Alessia mixed up an interesting cocktail of concrete, paint and PVA glue in a practical demonstration of experimental silkscreen printing with unorthadox materials.   The Tangible Interfaces Workshop, which took place back in October 2010 at Chang Gung University, Taiwan, was all about experimentation and the exploration of materiality beyond its typical scope; and students were invited to respond to this brief in their own very unique way.

The results?  What this space!
