Memory of Textile Crafts

Memory of Textile Crafts is a card game developed as a tool to be used when teaching textile techniques. Through interactive and dialogue-based activities the card game emphasizes active learning in the classroom. The game can be seen as an advanced version of a traditional memory game, where sets or ‘matches’ are to be made. Here matches are of specific textile techniques.
The aim of the game is to enhance knowledge and awareness of these specific techniques in relation to concrete tools used, schematic drawings and pictures of material samples, thus making a match of four connected cards.
The idea behind the memory game has been to propose a tool to support knowledge creation and reflective reasoning when introducing textile materials and textile practices in teaching. Here the wish has been to provide general means to be used to discuss selected techniques and how these might differ by means of e.g. the way a textile is constructed and the tools are used.
