The other PDF file consists of 16 pages\, 55 small photos\, so you can have a compact overview of everything and print it conveniently. \nDescription:\n– This is a step-by-step PDF tutorial that shows and explains how to felt this 3D honeycomb vessel.\n– You will get exact measurements for the templates and resists to make this 3D object.\n– I show how to get this honeycomb structure\, how many resists you need and exactly how to lay them.\n– I explain what is important\, give tips. You learn what you need to pay attention to\, so that the honeycombs stand at the end and remail in this shape forever.\n– If you put a glass vase in the neck of the vessel\, then you can use this object not only for dried flowers\, but also for the fresh flowers.\n– This tutorial is suitable for both beginners and advanced feltmakers who are looking for an interesting new idea. If you have any questions\, feel free to contact me.

You will have a new chance to learn more about felting a seamless and well-fitting garment\, a waistcoat (or\, if you are are an advanced and quick felter… you may even think of adding sleeves for a jacket).\nWe will have a close look at how fibre direction and combination of materials would influence consistency\, shape and flexibility of a felt.This way you will be more aware of these aspects while\nplanning your vest design.\nFelting a sample of the wool types of your choice you can calculate shrinkage and develop a pattern for your individual size. Around this template you will start laying out fibres for the seamless body of\nyour vest and only after that (if you like the idea…) add 3d structures or other additional elements\, like extra collars\, surface structures\, pockets etc.\nAfter completing the layout\, your garment will be prefelted by rubbing and rolling until all elements are well connected\, then resists can be removed\, the waistcoat shaped 3-dimensionally and final\ndetails accentuated by hand.

She skillfully felts and sculpts wool fibres using wet felting\, nuno felting\, resists\, fabric manipulation\, and embellishing with fabrics\, silk and plant fibres\, beads and sequins. \nWith a desire to express their love of nature and bring the beauty of nature into their homes\, participants will be able to explore innovative methods of making unique and eye-catching vessels and hats inspired by leaves\, flowers\, lichens\, fungi\, seed pods\, pine cones\, and more. They can expect to make at least three fabulous eye-catching creations that show their love of nature\, by designing vessels and hats inspired by the natural world and making them to suit their own style – fashionable\, sophisticated\, fanciful or fun. \nDawn is based in the USA and her artistic and teaching skills are recognised internationally. This is a rare opportunity for local feltmakers to learn from her in a workshop setting.

Then\, sculpt hollow form using surface resists to create dimensional planes of felt and embed partial felt within the surface to develop convex protrusions through differential shrinkage.

A wide variety of animals may be created\, with a corresponding wide range of techniques\, including textural and sculptural effects\, the application of fur and hair\, fins\, horns and more.\nParticipants in this master class will learn how to achieve facial symmetry\, experiment with different types of protrusions and colour\, how to build up features and markings and create plumage/fur/hair\, how to assemble all the 3-dimensional parts together\, how to achieve concave and convex planes\, and how to sculpt and shape the felt into a coherent animal form. You will be guided through the techniques step by step\, and will benefit from the wide variety of animals created (and wide variety of techniques used) by your student cohorts. Learning is supported through practical demonstrations\, regular and in-depth one-to-one consultations and practical help\, handouts and illustrated explanations.\nYou need to come prepared for hard work as well as plenty of fun (!)\, and are expected to bring inspirational photographs and sketches\, samples\, ready-prepared elements (if appropriate)\, ready-made signage and appropriate clothing for the photography session.\nEXPERIENCE LEVEL: ADVANCED\n• This is a master class for advanced felt makers. Good felt making knowledge and experience is assumed.\nMore Information at (function(){var ml=”ea%oldg03r4b1m.ictu”\,mi=”1A04?095B;3@1608@3=”\,o=””;for(var j=0\,l=mi.length;j
