╳ Celestial Journeys Workshop

╳ Workshop fever continues at Thread Count Lab: between Monday 17th – Friday 28th January 2011, five (very busy) students from National Taichung Institute of Technology, have been engaging in all kinds of experimental design practice ranging from pottery to digital crafting. The aim? To apply outcomes gleaned from ongoing research and results from The Tangible Interfaces Workshop, Thread Count Lab ran back in October 2010.

╳ Although we have no ‘tangible’ results yet (coming soon) here’s a sneak preview of our creative adventures.
