The 3rd Smart Textiles Salon will take place in Ghent, Belgium on 3 –6 June, 2013. The programme of the Salon consists of two parts. The first part includes lectures and a few workshops where the participants will make their own smart textile products. It is important to note that designer Evelyn Lebis, MA-graduate from Swedish School of Textiles 2011, will support workshops of Riccardo Marchesi (Plug and Wear).

The second part is an exhibition where new smart textile objects will be shown. 2012-graduate Barbro Scholz will exhibit her thesis project Your Balance during the second part of the Salon.

I’m looking forward to attend workshops and if needed  to help Barbro with organizing her objects for the exhibition. I am curious about new smart textiles project and can hardly wait to meet friends from Arcintex network.
