This particular workshop is for two days\, using monochrome techniques.\nIt is possible to work in a mixture of fleece types using natural colours\, or to use dyed fibres (e.g merino). You will be able to make an A3-sized portrait (or slightly larger) in two days\, based upon an image that you will supply to Chris in advance\, in order for her to do the digital manipulation for the technique. You can use old photos or online images\, it can be friends and family\, animals\, or famous faces. Later on\, the method is applicable to other subject matter\, if you wish to pursue it further.\nThis is a wet-felting technique\, specially-developed by Chris to enable you to make something uniquely personal\, without needing drawing ability. Past students have created family heirlooms\, memorials\, and unique gifts during this workshop.

We will explore different techniques for sculptural form ideas\, with themes like: folding and unfolding\, building relief\, clamping and binding. All to become more aware of how and why we want to use this medium. This workshop is inspired by the idea that we have to allow ourselves to discover new ways of creating with wool. Let the wool make you feel things\, and then decide if it is any good. We will play with the processes of shortening\, thickening\, tightening\, shrinking and other transformations of felted surfaces.\nFocus will be on how color changes in the felting process and how different layouts and felting methods change forms and shapes.\nSome felting experience required .
