ITP Spring Show
Don't miss the ITP Spring Show 2008, where there's sure to be projects galore with wearable electronics and other crafty smarts!
Monday, May 12 and Tuesday, May 13
from 5 to 9pm at ITP
A two-day festival of interactive sight, sound and technology from the student artists and innovators at ITP.
An oversized Greenwich Village loft houses the computer labs, rotating exhibitions, and production workshops that are ITP -- the Interactive Telecommunications Program. Founded in 1979 as the first graduate education program in alternative media, ITP has grown into a living community of technologists, theorists, engineers, designers, and artists uniquely dedicated to pushing the boundaries of interactivity in the real and digital worlds. A hands-on approach to experimentation, production and risk-taking make this hi-tech fun house a creative home not only to its 230 students, but also to an extended network of the technology industry's most daring and prolific practitioners.

Color Fiber Festival in Berkeley, CA on Saturday April 26
Karrie of Girl on the Rocks writes:
This Saturday (April 26)in Berkeley CA is the first ever Color Fiber Festival! Local indie vendors will be selling hand crafted yarn, fiber and knitting notions. The event will include classes in knitting, weaving, and drop spindling. There will also be 'fiber tastings' to try out different fibers. And in my opinion, the best part is the classes are a great bargain. All are offered for the materials fee only.
