Installations and performances are running all day long!

Noisy Pom-Pom Workshop: 11:00 - 13:00:

In this 2-hour workshop, we will craft with electronic textiles to make an electronic musical instrument, played by squeezing pompoms!

We will explore ideas in DIY electronics and experimental music making, to learn how we can craft and make sound with electronic circuits, creating a fun and playful new musical instrument to perform with. Each participant will make their own unique pompom musical instrument to take away with them.

Sam Topley is a sound artist and educator from Leicester (England, UK). She works with textiles to create handmade electronic musical instruments and interactive sound art, including giant pompom musical instruments, knitted or 'yarnbombed' loudspeakers and 'craftivist' musical instruments with e-textile interfaces.
