Electronics

An electronics for artists class where we got a chance to work with different tools. A short workshop course, that ended with making an automatic parking meter. Watch the video:

Fabrics

Creating fabric patterns with the "tie & dye" methods in the printing lab and digital fabric prints that need to be steamed through for the color to stay on the textiles.

Wood Works

After taking the course at Aalto Studios workshop I'm now able to work with the heavy duty machines to create my own wood and metal works.

Code tinkering...

A weekend coding project to create a simple block building tool in 3D space just for fun. Wanted to try my skills at what i can accomplish without anything set up in a single weekend by my self from scratch.
