This 4-day preparatory workshop has been developed in response to student requests and is highly recommended for those wishing to try out colour, eye types, hair, fur, plumage, surface techniques and other special effects in preparation for making a full animal mask.
Whether you are about to embark on your first animal mask, or you have wet felted a mask with me before, this workshop is an ideal opportunity to research specific aspects of your chosen animal, develop appropriate technical responses, and to practise them on small samples before working on the mask itself. This eliminates some risk factors and will save you me later on, and will give you a beer understanding of the final outcome you are trying to achieve.
Although you will be pursuing your personal line of inquiry, you will benefit greatly from being exposed to your student cohort’s work, and from the experimentation in the room around you. Throughout the workshop, learning is supported through 1-to-1 consultations, practical group demonstrations and illustrated explanations of a wide range of felt making techniques and approaches.
