This text describes the data presented in the paper: A Schnittmuster for Crafting Custom Touch Sensing Toolkits (http://dx.doi.org/10.17634/154300-61)

========================
Introductory information
========================
Files included in the data deposit (include a short description of what data are contained): 

Qualitative data documenting different use cases of FlexE-Touch, an instance of a Schnittmuster approach to crafting custom touch sensing toolkits. The data was collected in course of workshops and public outreach activities. In particular this data set comprises photos, field notes and a documentation booklet co-curated with participants. 

The data is organised by use case (as described in the paper)
1) Light Writer (conductive glass)
2) Partnership Quilt (interactive community crafts project)
3) Pop-Up Making (at different occasions and locations)
4) Toold for Wools (touch-interactive urban knitting)


Explain the relationship between multiple data sets, if required:
The data is by no means unified in its documentation format and solely served the purpose to illustrate the diversity of use contexts, toolkit-materials, and crafted electrodes.


Key words used to describe the data:
photos, videos, fieldnotes, transcripts,
Making, Crafts, Toolkits, Do-It-Yourself technology, Capacitive Touch Sensing, Facilitating Learing


========================== 
Methodological information
==========================
A brief method description – what the data is, how and why it was collected or created, and how it was processed:
The data serves as evidence illustrating diversity of use contexts, toolkit-materials, and crafted electrodes. All data was anonymized, so photos are blurred where people are identifiable (apart from the lead researcher herself) and names in texts are abbrevated.


Instruments, hardware and software used: 
smartphone, camera, word processing, photo editing tools


Date(s) of data collection: 
Tools for Wools: spring/summer 2015 
Light Writer, Partnership Quilt, Pop-up Making: summer 2017


Geographic coverage of data:
Newcastle upon Tyne, UK
Vienna, Austria


Data validation (how was the data checked, proofed and cleaned):
data reviewed for anonymisation
