However\, we will work on a slightly smaller scale so that we can manage the size of the object in the course and still get to know and practise the most important technical aspects. By combining 3-dimensional felt components and the painterly use of wool fibers we can achieve an impressive spatial effect. We will have a close look at suitable wool types\, consistency and function of the different layers and fibre directions. A mixture of different wool colors on the surface\, as if they were brushstrokes of a painting\, will give the picture depth and liveliness. When finally placing the individual levels on the background\, we’ll try to find an interesting rhythm in order to create a perspective and dynamic movement.\nOur project is a little more extensive and challenging this time and includes 3 course dates. On the first day (late July) you will get an overview and start to prepare the individual levels of the cascade. You’ll then have a few weeks to make enough individual parts for your work\, take your time to think about its final shape and maybe\, individual design features.\nThen we’ll meet again (early September) for a weekend with 2 course days\, assemble the individual parts\, add final details and complete the sculpture. \n***Das Kaskadenprojekt soll Euch zeigen\, wie mein skulpturaler Wandbehang „melt“ entstanden ist. Wir werden allerdings in etwas kleinerer Dimension arbeiten\, um die Größe des Objekt im Kurs bewältigen zu können und dabei trotzdem die wichtigsten technischen Grundlagen kennenzulernen und zu üben. Im Zusammenspiel von 3-dimensionalen Filzkomponenten und dem malerischen Einsatz der Wollfasern\, lässt sich eine eindrucksvolle räumliche Wirkung erzielen. Dazu schauen wir uns geeignete Wolltypen\, die Konsistenz und Funktion der verschiedenen Schichten und Faserrichtungen genau an. Eine Mischung verschiedener Wollfarben auf der Oberfläche\, als wären es Pinselstriche eines Gemäldes\, wird dem Bild Tiefe und Lebendigkeit verleihen. Beim Aufsetzen der einzelnen Ebenen auf den Hintergrund wollen wir versuchen\, einen spannenden Rhythmus zu finden\, um Perspektive und dynamische Bewegung in das Objekt zu bringen.\nUnser Vorhaben ist diesmal etwas umfangreicher und anspruchvoller und beinhaltet 3 Kurstermine. Am ersten Tag (Ende Juli) verschaffen wir uns einen Überblick und beginnen\, die einzelnen Ebenen der Kaskade vorzubereiten. Danach habt Ihr einige Wochen Zeit\, ausreichend Einzelteile für Euer Werk herzustellen und in Ruhe die endgültige Form Eures Werkes und evtl. individuelle Gestaltungsformen zu durchdenken.\nAnschließend treffen wir uns wieder (Anfang September) für ein Wochenende mit 2 Kurstagen\, setzen die Einzelteile zusammen\, ergänzen letzte Details und stellen die Skulptur fertig.

I have been passionate about wool and textiles for over twenty years. I weave\, spin and felt wool taken from our own mixed flock near Wigtown. I started teaching myself through research into many different styles and techniques. I then progressed with the help of Lena Archbold’s excellent teaching.\nhttps://www.facebook.com/EdenTextilesStudio \nI have thought about bringing like minded people together at some sort of gathering for quite a while now and decided this year to create the first ‘Eden Wool Gathering’ which this year will be held at Whithorn Roundhouse in Dumfries & Galloway. I wanted the chance to promote wool in our local farming community and show people how many wonderful things can be made from it\, and the many things it can be used for. \nI am now in my third year of remission from cancer so decided to hold this great event as a charity fund raiser for our local cancer drop in centre\, based in Stranraer\, which has helped me and many other people over the years.\nhttps://www.facebook.com/p/Stranraer-Cancer-Drop-In-Centre-100057349723588/ \n\nStranraer Cancer Drop In Centre \n\nWhat will you expect to see at the ‘Eden Wool Gathering’?

The fleece seat pads make a beautiful feature in any home and can be used to create cosy chair pad\, bench mats or made into cushions\, keeping your warm & comfortable\, especially in the winter months. They also make stunning wall hangings\, or can be used as luxury pet beds. \nThis is a great introduction to learning how to work with raw fleece and less physically demanding than making a whole fleece rug. The bonus is you will be helping to support British farmers by making use of the fleeces they shear\, the sheep enjoy their annual hair cut\, you learn news skills and take home a beautiful work of art! \n During the day you will learn how to;\n*Prepare the raw fleece – skirting\, dagging & removing vegetable matter\n*Layout a backing\n*Shape & Bind the fleece together using soap\, water & elbow grease\n*Scour and wash out the lanolin and field dirt\n*Dry & Finish the fleece in two different methods \nFor more information on the workshop please visit my website via the link.

You must be confident in making firm\, basic shapes and be ready to move on to bigger projects. \nYour tutor Natalie Brooks (Harris) is a fine artist using needle felting\, the creator of Roly Poly Ponies and a long time horse addict with a HND in equine science as well as a fine art degree.\nNatalie will spend time discussing proportions and giving an insight into equine anatomy which could help create a better understanding of how a horse is built\, how they move and therefore give you an edge when it comes to sculpting your own equine. \nYou will make a horse or pony in a standing position (no base) in the colour of your choice… please let Natalie know in advance what colour you will be making.\nThis workshop will be run over two days. In the first session you will design your horse or pony (bring some pictures if you would like to make a particular equine friend)\, make an armature from wire and a set of hooves. You will also start to use core wool to create the bulk of your sculpture.\nOn the second session\, you will add colour and details. You will be shown how to add a mane\, tail and legs\, (feather if applicable) to your horse and how to attach the feet to your sculpt.\nYou may or may not fully finish your horse during the session\, but as a minimum you will have the body musculature\, facial details and legs in place. You will leave with the confidence and materials to finish in your own time if necessary. \nSession 1 is 10:00-17:00 on Sat 21st June\nSession 2 is 10:00-16:30 on Sun 22nd June \nBooking is essential £100 per person. Please PM me to book your space. A non-refundable deposit of £50 is required upon booking\, the balance is due on or before 1st June 2025.\nAll materials are included\, though if you have a favorite needle or holder/handle or felting mat feel free to bring it along.\nNote that as the gallery will be open on the Saturday. On Sunday it will be closed and we will have the run of the downstairs gallery space.\nTea\, coffee and light refreshments are provided throughout the sessions\, but please bring your own packed lunch. \nAccommodation is not provided but there is plenty to choose from in the Dudley and Sandwell areas.\nFull Terms and Conditions can be found on the “notes” section of my page\, or are available upon request.

How far can we go with them? With changing positions of resists\, different ways of cutting\, shrinking and transforming we can create an amazing variety of forms. Of course\, we will take care to prepare a durable fibre combination in our layout that is made to survive all these experiments in good shape!\nCutting into the felted structure in particular\, opens up new insights and perspectives. It often exposes inner parts of the object and/or layers in the cuts and allows interesting 3-dimensional shapes to unfold.

A Research Day to support the Feltmatters Minerals\, Rocks\, Crystals Theme giving an opportunity to photograph /& draw items from this incredible collection. \nI have negotiated a visit with the museum and exclusive use of the Education room\, where we will have access to the exhibits\, enabling us examine some of the exhibits in closer detail… \nMeeting Date: 14th June 2025 – Lapworth Museum\, Birmingham \nThe Lapworth Museum of Geology is one of the oldest geological museums in the UK! It was founded in 1880\, and is named after Charles Lapworth\, the first Professor of Geology at Mason College. This was the forerunner to the University of Birmingham\, and the Museum can still be found in the Grade II listed Aston Webb Building\, therefore retains its original Edwardian setting and interior. Throughout its long history\, the Museum has provided a valuable resource for students\, researchers\, and anyone with a desire to learn about geology. A visit to the Museum provides insight into how the Earth and its life began and changed through time. \nThe Lapworth Museum is located within the University of Birmingham’s Aston Webb A Block building just off the Ring Road South. This building is on the Edgbaston Campus and a map can be found by visiting https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/cultural-attractions/lapworth-museum-of-geology/visit-us The Lapworth is easily accessible by a range of sustainable transport methods\, including a five minute walk from the University Station and on multiple cycle and bus routes. \nOn weekend visitors can park on the University campus. Parking is free to all campus visitors on weekends. The nearest car park is the multistorey North East Car Park\, a pay and display venue (change only) a 10 minute walk from the Museum.
