Retroreflective Workshop II
0 comments at 3:22 am posted by Chris C
Join us for another workshop where you can add retro-reflective material to your clothing in stylish and creative ways or make retro-reflective patches that you can sew onto clothing, backpacks, etc. The first one was great fun—below you can see some of the designs that were made that evening (without need much technical or artistic skill, even!).
As the nights become longer cyclists increasingly need to use every tool in their arsenal to stay visible to motorists on the road. One tool is silver retroreflective material that, when light (especially from headlights) is shined on it, reflects light back to the source.
Bring:
- clothing you would like to make more visible in the night. Make sure it is clean, and when you wash it, don’t use fabric softener. This process in this workshop isn’t suitable for some materials (like plastic rain coats) that can’t be ironed.
- ideas for designs and motifs, because reflectivity doesn’t have to just mean a big ol’ X on the back. We will have a computer and printer available if you want to bring ideas in digital form.
Hope to see you there!
