No materials for the event yet, sorry!

This workshop will give participants a TurtleStitch experience - developing a program to make an embroidery. Participants will be introduced to TurtleStitch and given some knowledge of the considerations needed when programming for output on an embroidery machine. Then, the idea will be to start from artworks provided by the workshop leaders or found on the internet, which they will be encouraged to 'decode' and then convert to TurtleStitch programs, particularly where randomisation and mathematics play a role in the design. Inspiration may come from art, mathematics, or architecture. Participants will be supported throughout by three enthusiasts with experience of this activity and will be encouraged to work with each other.
