Smart or intelligent materials are responsive and dynamic. They can change color, shape and size in response to the environment. From threads and textiles that shift color to piezoelectric materials that can generate sound with current, these materials offer a range of possibilities for crafting objects with an autonomous life.

Conductive inks, threads and textiles allow you easily incorporate electronic circuitry into craft projects. Circuits can now be colorful and decorative, embroidered, inked or knit. The circuit can be exposed, or hidden. It can be part of a fashion statement or design aesthetic.
