Light up your life with Electroluminescent Wire
Tuesday, July 6th, 7:30 PM – 9 PM
In this mini workshop, we will teach you how to work with Electroluminescent (EL) wire. EL Wire lights up like neon, yet is flexible enough embellish clothing, bikes, computers and more. When combined with a driver, it can glow, blink, or even be programmed in complex sequences that produced animations.
In the workshop, we will cover the basics – soldering the EL Wire to the connector, which allows it to be attached to the driver, which powers the wire; and working with EL Wire to attach it to a stable shape, such as an item of clothing.
Kit Cost: $10.
Includes a driver, 18 inches of wire (blue, white, red, orange, green or yellow), and connectors.
You provide the item to which you wish to attach the wire. Jackets, hats, bracelets, bikes, and even laptops might be good candidates.
