E-Textiles Exchange Swatchbook 2013

Selected E-textile sample for the E-Textiles Exchange Swatchbook 2013. The exchange compiles individual work samples into a format for sharing and exchanging research and designs. The physicality of the swatchbook puts emphasis on craftsmanship and quality of work by providing access to the real thing, and not a digital representation thereof. The collection of samples in the 2013 swatchbook were produced by 24 individuals with diverse links to the etextile community, including academic researchers, textile designers, industrial designers, artists, electrical engineers and enthusiastic makers. Each individual who participated in the exchange worked to produce 24 multiples of their work so that everybody received a complete set of samples.
