Code, cloth, and your hands: How engaging in textile craft makes you a better technologist
by CJ Jensen | at Minnebar20
The Jacquard loom gave us binary code and beautiful brocades. What else has the world of textiles given us and how to does engaging in textile craft make us better technologists? Turns out a lot. Spend 40 minutes engaging in hand quilting and Sashiko embroidery with your peers. Zero experience requires as we are all here to learn.
