On April 12, Wonder’neath is presenting Wearable Electronics, a day-long workshop by artist Catherine Euale, @slimy_futures! 

Catherine is a Venezuelan-Canadian bio-artist, citizen scientist, and storyteller, dedicated to deepening our relationships with the more-than-human. Her practice blends biology, conceptual art, digital fabrication, and open-source citizen science to create immersive, research-based pieces that explore the boundaries of interspecies communication, bioethics, and speculative futures.

This hands-on workshop introduces participants to the basics of building soft circuits using conductive materials. We’ll start by creating simple circuits on paper with conductive tape to understand how electricity flows, learn how to build open and closed circuits, and how to stitch conductive materials into fabric-based circuits using conductive thread, LEDs, coin cell batteries and fabric swatches. Participants will leave with samples they've built and an understanding of what materials are available for integrating electronics into textiles and wearables. We'll also look at examples of input/output circuits (like pressure-sensitive or stretch-activated lights).

Suitable for artists, designers, makers, textile crafters, costume designers, cosplayers and experimental enthusiasts! 

The session will run from 10 am -5 pm on April 12, 2026 at Wonder’neath, 2482 Maynard Street.
