KOBA School of Wickedfabrics
For the last 6 months KOBAKANT have been running KOBA, e-textile tailorshop in
Berlin, Germany. During this time we’ve been refining our skills in some of the
most basic techniques like making hard-soft connections and detachable parts.
But we have also been confronted with learning bespoke tailoring skills in
taking a customer’s ideas from concept to robust artifact.
We are planning to hold KOBA school of Wickedfabrics in August 2018.
The KOBA School of Wicked Fabrics is intended as a time and place for us to
formalize these skills and pass them on to a small group of students.We’re
planning two separate weeks of school: A FOUNDATION week for absolute e-textile
beginners which will introduce you to all the skills you need to get started. A
TAILORING week for professionals from diverse backgrounds who want to learn to
develop e-textile garments from scratch to fitting. Both weeks will include a
mix of hands-on tutorials and free working time.

This course will start with introductions to e-textile materials, basic

The course will start with 3.5 days of hands-on workshops, followed by 2 days
of project development time where participants are challenged to apply their
learned skills in a focussed e-textile project.

This course will walk you through the process of tailoring one e-textile

sensors, actuators and programming the behavior of the garment. Each day will
start with hands-on tutorials in the mornings and time to apply these skills in
the afternoons. Throughout the course of the week, each participant will
construct their own e-textile garment, including time for debugging, to make
sure it really works:-)
