With a couple of resists we will prepare hollow chambers inside the felt and after having prefelted the material to fairly good stability\, these cavities can be opened and unfolded into three-dimensional structures. We’ll take a close look at suitable types of wool\, layering and fiber direction to prepare a durable pre-felt that can withstand cutting and reshaping to create sculptural forms. With further felting\, 3d forms will be clearly modeled and compacted to their final\, stable consistency.\nWelcome and have fun meeting some surprising transformations in felting!\nThose who already took part in the „Diversity“ workshop will enjoy discovering new options.

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.

This time we’d assemble a group of hollow chambers and incorporate them in a larger\nitem. They can be opened later and manipulated manually to form an organic seamless felt object.\nThe silhouette of the sculpture will only arise from the arrangement of all individual parts.\nWe’d pay special attention to fiber combination and directions to connect all parts securly and\nprepare the material for specific shaping and deformations. With a well planned use of color through\nall layers we can even increase the dimensional effect.\nAs an example I developed this fossil leaf project for you. It will allow us to discuss and practise all\nworking steps included and enable you to apply the technique to a variety of individual felt works in\nthe future. \nN° 25/05 Wandskulptur – Blattfossil\, Online\, Mai 2025 \nIn diesem Kurs möchte ich eine andere Möglichkeit vorstellen\, wie eine eindrucksvolle Struktur für ein\nWandobjekt erzeugt werden kann. Wir wollen diesmal eine Gruppe von Hohlräumen vorbereiten\,\ndiese zu einer grösseren Form zusammensetzen und nahtlos miteinander verbinden. Die Kammern\nwerden später geöffnet\, umgeformt und von Hand in eine organische Form modelliert.\nDie Konturen der Skulptur werden sich erst aus der Anordnung aller Einzelteile ergeben.\nWir schauen uns speziell das Zusammenwirken verschiedener Materialien und die Faserführung an\,\num alle Teile sicher zu verbinden und das Filzgut gezielt für Umformungen vorzubereiten. Auch der\nEinsatz von Farben durch alle Schichten hindurch will gut durchdacht sein und kann die räumliche\nWirkung erheblich verstärken.\nAls Beispiel habe ich ein Blattfossil für Euch vorbereitet\, an dem wir alle Arbeitsschritte erläutern und\nüben können. Die erlernten Techniken könnt Ihr künftig vielseitig in eigenen Filzarbeiten anwenden.

With a well planned use of color through\nall layers we can even increase the dimensional effect.\nAs an example I developed this fossil leaf project for you. It will allow us to discuss and practise all\nworking steps included and enable you to apply the technique to a variety of individual felt works in\nthe future. \nN° 25/05 Wandskulptur – Blattfossil\, Online\, Mai 2025 \nIn diesem Kurs möchte ich eine andere Möglichkeit vorstellen\, wie eine eindrucksvolle Struktur für ein\nWandobjekt erzeugt werden kann. Wir wollen diesmal eine Gruppe von Hohlräumen vorbereiten\,\ndiese zu einer grösseren Form zusammensetzen und nahtlos miteinander verbinden. Die Kammern\nwerden später geöffnet\, umgeformt und von Hand in eine organische Form modelliert.\nDie Konturen der Skulptur werden sich erst aus der Anordnung aller Einzelteile ergeben.\nWir schauen uns speziell das Zusammenwirken verschiedener Materialien und die Faserführung an\,\num alle Teile sicher zu verbinden und das Filzgut gezielt für Umformungen vorzubereiten. Auch der\nEinsatz von Farben durch alle Schichten hindurch will gut durchdacht sein und kann die räumliche\nWirkung erheblich verstärken.\nAls Beispiel habe ich ein Blattfossil für Euch vorbereitet\, an dem wir alle Arbeitsschritte erläutern und\nüben können. Die erlernten Techniken könnt Ihr künftig vielseitig in eigenen Filzarbeiten anwenden.

Felt is a wonderful material for decorative interior design\, brings warmth into the room and has a sound absorbing effect.\nAs a special feature\, this time we want to focus on the combination of 2 or 3 pieces that will go together in one installation. On one hand\, this will make the felting process a bit easier for you\, not having to full one large and heavy piece\, and we can e njoy discovering many different ways of how several pieces can communicate with each other. Hanging more than one object together on one wall\, they will start to “talk” to each other and the space in between becomes part of the installation. Based on many years of experience and skills in sculptural felting I will give advice and support with choosing suitable techniques and guide you through the felting process.\nYou may use wool of your own production or locally prevalent wool types and discover a good way to value their quality. In 2022 we already did some investigation in this field and created a sample book with a variety of wool combinations. This can help you to get an idea of felt quality and textures that can be achieved with several wool types.\nStudents who prefer to use other types of wool are of course welcome\, too\, and can do the same with their favourite materials or types of fibres they are not familiar with so far and want to\ndo more investigations in this direction.\nIn general I’d recommend to combine batts and tops\, short fibered fleece for the body of the felt and the long fibers of combed sliver to define stability and shape.

Während des Schaffens werden wir technische Details Eurer Arbeiten genauer beleuchten und unterschiedliche Ansätze und Lösungsmöglichkeiten für kritische Situationen zusammentragen. So können wir eine Reihe von Varianten im Werden beobachten und alle etwas voneinander lernen.\nAnstelle einer großformatigen Arbeit (die relativ viel Kraft beim Walken erfordert) könnt Ihr auch eine Gruppe kleinerer Objekte anfertigen\, die aufeinander Bezug nehmen oder ein gewähltes Thema in verschiedenen Techniken ausprobieren.\nMacht Euch schon mal auf die Suche nach interessanten Strukturen\, Fotos oder Fundstücken\, die als Ausgangspunkt für eine künstlerische Filzgestaltung dienen können! \n1 Zusatz-Tag Kragen:\nWer möchte\, kann den Kurs noch um einen zusätzlichen Tag erweitern\, an dem wir 3d Strukturen auf einen Kragen anwenden wollen. Besondere Herausforderung ist nun\, die vormals flache Grundfläche dem Körper anzupassen\, damit sie sich gut an Nacken und Schultern anschmiegt.\nDieser Tag kann auch einzeln gebucht werden\, empfehlenswert ist es\, ihn mit der Einführung (Tag 1) zu kombinieren.
