This work investigates the use of craft as a method to explore technology through weaving to create speakers. Following a research-through-design approach, we developed a material recipe and weaving-based technique for speaker construction. Our goal was to understand how this blend of craft and technology could arouse curiosity and encourage playful making of technology. To this end, we conducted a hands-on workshop with ten experienced makers. From this workshop, several woven artifacts were generated and we discovered that integrating craft materials with electronic components fostered an acceptance of imperfection and sparked curiosity, encouraging participants to explore different ways of building electronics.
