Burning Man, the annual art festival cum bacchanal (or, perhaps more properly, bacchanal cum art festival), is coming up at the end of the month. If you’re going and don’t have your night-time costumes together yet, there’s still time, and Not A Number on 45th St is here to help.
They’ll be hosting two EL Wire workshops for beginners this month, on Aug 8, 1 – 3 PM and then again on Aug 15 1 – 3 PM. Registration is required ($35.00), register at SeattleLumin.com. They’re also hosting drop-in EL workshops for free on Aug 12th and 19th from 4 – 7 pm.
EL wire, for the uninitiated, is thin plastic wire that lights up in various colors when you pass a current through it. You can use it to make some pretty amazing and elaborate costumes. Check out some of the photos of EL Wire on Flickr, for example.
And, of course, you don’t have to go to Burning Man to get your EL on.
