In this workshop, attendees will learn how to make their very own handmade speaker! We’ll start with an overview of the components of speakers and then introduce the materials we will use: conductive thread, copper tape, fabric, and paper. Attendees will make and test their speakers, exploring how different materials result in different sound quality and volume. It is not necessary to have experience in electronics, sewing, or audio to attend this workshop. All materials provided.
