Hey guys! My name is Joey and I will be your Digital Threads electronic textile workshop leader. I plan to blog twice a week until the end of the year (on Tuesdays and Saturdays) and post lots of links, images, videos, and other stuff for you to look at. I will just start out with a few links and my official bio:
