From clothing that can respond to its wearer’s biosignals to fabrics that use body movement to generate power, smart textiles are a rapidly growing area of inquiry within STEM research. Devendorf would launch a program of smart textiles research that aims to synthesize practices of art and engineering. With support from Steven Frost (fiber artist) and Allie Anderson (assistant professor of Aerospace Engineering), to prototype smart textiles for everyday wearable interactions, art, and applications in space flight.
Dr. Devendorf is a human-computer interaction researcher studying how human values shape the design of interactive technologies. She has designed and developed novel systems for digital fabrication and wearable technology. Currently, focusing on smart textiles, specifically, how people might design, fabricate, and interact with smart textiles in the future. / Fiber and Performance Artist & Instructor, Department of Media Studies College of Media Communication & Information, University of Colorado, Boulder

In order to increase the value and relevance of craft to society, the Center works to advance the understanding of craft in higher education, museums and cultural institutions, and across disciplines. Field building strategies include convening thought leaders, creating, documenting and disseminating research, and launching innovative leadership initiatives. We provide grants and fellowships to emerging and established craft artists, curators, and scholars in order to build a future for the field of craft.
Recognizing that Asheville and the surrounding area has been a bastion for craft in the United States dating back to the Cherokee, the Center is actively working to preserve and advance the craft legacy of Western North Carolina through the development of our property in downtown Asheville, North Carolina and through a series of exhibitions and community-focused initiatives.
