Allison Lewis, Parsons grad (masters degree in science and technology), blog writer (
Iheartswitch.com), and author (
Switch Craft: Battery-Powered Crafts to Make and Sew) was featured in the New York Times Home Section about her
"tech crafts" today. From a felt voodoo doll with a motor inside it's chest, a necklace that lights up, or a satin chew toy that clucks when mauled, Lewis married traditional craftsmanship with technology. Lewis said threading LED is as simple as knitting.
Coming from a family with a tradition of sew
manship, part of me fears that traditional pastimes such as crocheting and knitting will disappear.
