Knittstruments

2014-2015

Design:
︎Musical Instrument
Research:
︎Sound and Craft 

This project aimed at bridging the gap between musician and crafts(wo)man through knitting. We (Nantia Koulidou, Robb Mitchell and myself) developed the Kraftwork and Knitstruments, musical devices that would translate the movement of a knitters knitting into a musical melody. We organized workshops, two concerts and finally wrote two papers.
