Wearable Senses Lab

The FE Wearable Senses Lab is focused exploring and innovating experimental textiles and soft things. The work conducted in the lab is material-driven and explorative, with a focus on transforming raw and reclaimed material (in new ways), re-inventing skills and knowledge (in the context of new materials and processes), rethinking fabrication (through new and combined processes), designing new things (with an attention to complexity) and interweaving emerging technologies (into both processes and materials). In addition to industrial sewing, over-lock and heat press machines, the Wearable Senses Lab is equipped for a broad range of soft fabrication and digital craftsmanship such as knitting, weaving, vinyl cutting, ultrasonic welding, embroidery and sublimation printing.
