Electroluminescent wire (often abbreviated to EL wire) is a thin copper wire coated in a phosphor which glows when an AC voltage is applied to it. It can be used to decorate vehicles or structures, much as rope light or Christmas lights are often used. Unlike these types of strand lights, EL wire is not a series of points but produces an unbroken line of visible light. Moreover, it is extremely thin and flexible, and thus may be used, for example, in clothing or costumes.
This workshop will teach you how to solder EL Wire with low temp solders. You will learn about stripping wire, soldering with low temp solders, and creating beautiful blinking wire with a three phase connector. A favorite at Burning Man, this is not only a great way to introduce anyone to basic soldering techniques, but unleash your creative potential. There are all kinds of colorful opportunities and choices to liven up your living space, a terrific hat or a blinking bicycle.
We will be using an LCD projector and close-up camera so you won’t miss any of the action.
Best,
