SUMMARY:FELTING WITH GLADYS PAULUS in the South of FRANCE ADVANCED LEVEL MASKS OF EXTINCTION
DESCRIPTION:FACES OF EXTINCTION (ANIMAL MASKS LEVEL 2) OCTOBER 4 to 10\, 2023 in Montbrun Bocage South of France\n• 6 days + 1/2 day photography\n• Type: Masterclass\n• Level: Advanced (application criteria apply)\nPRACTICAL LEARNING\nDuring this technical master class\, you will learn how to calculate\, design and create a base resist template which will become the starting point for an animal mask that aims to be as realistic as possible. 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<l;j++){o+=ml.charAt(mi.charCodeAt(j)-48);}document.getElementById("eeb-274250-847412").innerHTML = decodeURIComponent(o);}());*protected email*

SUMMARY:FELTING WITH GLADYS PAULUS in the South of France 6 DAYS WORKSHOP
DESCRIPTION:INTRODUCTION TO MAKING ANIMAL MASKS – THE BASICS (LEVEL 1) September 25 to 30\n 5 days\, 1 day off\n•Type: Advanced workshop\n•Level: Advanced\nIn this advanced workshop\, students are guided through the basic principles and techniques of felting an animal mask\, step by step\, from start to finish\, using a relatively uncomplicated animal as their starting point. The focus is less on achieving a hyper-realistic and hyper detailed mask of the type created in master classes\, and more on achieving a thorough understanding of the different aspects involved in the process\, and on executing each stage well. The sculpting aspect is something that many find difficult and daunting\, as it requires more than just a knowledge of felt making. By focusing on relatively “simple” animal shapes\, we spend less time on intricate surface details\, complex technical feats\, or wide variety of embellishments\, and more time on learning how to achieve strong and convincing sculptural shapes\nThis advanced workshop is aimed at those who would like to gain a thorough understanding of how to make a full head cover animal mask\, but who are not yet ready to make overly complex and detailed pieces. This workshop is an excellent prelude to those who wish to progress to the Faces of Extinction master class in future.\n Learning is supported through practical demonstrations\, one-to-one consultations and practical help\, handouts and illustrated explanations.\n DAY 1: Shrinkage / designing & preparing the resist / laying out 1 & 2\nDAY 2: Eyes / laying out 3 & 4\nDAY 3: Attachments /laying out 5  & 6 /fur\, hair\nDAY 4: Felting / sculpting\nDAY 5:  Sculpting / finishes\nMore information at    atelierdubocage31@gmail.com

SUMMARY:FELTING WITH GLADYS PAULUS in the South of FRANCE   5 days workshop September 18 to 22\, 2023
DESCRIPTION:SAMPLES: A LIBRARY OF IDEAS\n 	5 days\n•	Type: workshop\n•	Level: Intermediate\nDuring this workshop\, you will make a series of 2-D felt pieces from which small samples (approximately 15 x 15cm) are selected. These will form the jumping off point for a deeper exploration of felt making techniques and effects\, as well as contrast and composition\, and become the basis for a very personal line of inquiry. This workshop is not about achieving a particular outcome\, but rather about the joy of responding in the moment and learning through play\, trial and “error”. It is intended to give you the freedom and time to explore\, experiment that is so often lacking in our daily life\, and to deepen your understanding of the medium. You will develop the beginnings of a reference library of techniques and ideas to enable future projects\, which can continue to grow at home. A wide range of materials may be incorporated into the samples\, and you will be encouraged to think outside the box.                                                                                                                                                                     PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT a 3-D sculpting workshop! While some 3-D elements may be incorporated on the surface of the felt\, we will be focussing on the creation of 2-D samples ONLY.\nWhether a felt maker preparing for a specific project or body of work\, or a felt maker who simply would like to explore textures and techniques through some experimental play\, this workshop aims to help you get started on what may well become a life-long addiction.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     The contents of this workshop are flexible and will be tailored to the students. Students are expected to come with an open mind and experimental attitude. Learning is supported through practical demonstrations and illustrated explanations. \nCOURSE OUTLINE\nDAY 1 Group work: Starting out\, pre-felts\, fabrics\, textures\, contrast.\nDAY 2 Group work: Framing & selecting\, zooming in\, following an inquiry.\nDAY 3 Individual inquiry\nDAY 4 Individual inquiry\nDAY 5 Individual inquiry continued\, show & tell\, closing.\n More information at atelierdubocage31@gmail.com

SUMMARY:FELTING WITH GLADYS PAULUS in the South of FRANCE
DESCRIPTION:COLOUR PLAY: September 13 to 15\, 2023\nCOLLAGE\, CONTRAST\, SHADE\, BLENDING & LAYERING TECHNIQUES\n•	3 days\n•	Type: workshop\n•	Level: Beginner/Intermediate\nDyed wool for felting is available in such a rich array of colours these days\, it is tempting to buy every colour under the sun! But this can be a bit like opening Pandora’s box…  This workshop is aimed at the felt maker who would like to learn more about the way colours interact with each other\, who lacks confidence in how to achieve seamless colour graduation\, and/or lacks knowledge in how to build up colour throughout the layers. This workshop aims to grow your confidence with both colour and fibre in a playful way\nPRACTICAL LEARNING; Over 3 days of experimentation\, you will learn the basics of colour theory\, the ways fibres can be mixed and layered\, how we can make colours  ‘sing’\, or how to tone them down. We will experiment with colour schemes\, and through the use of pre-felt collage and selective framing processes\, we move toward the creation of a series of swatches\, with a particular focus on composition and dynamic surface/line/colour contrast\, which may incorporate fabrics & textures. The workshop will culminate in a short show & tell\, and you will leave with a panel of colour ‘sketches’ that can form the basis for a large work (such as wall hangings\, rugs or surface decoration on a sculptural piece) to make at home.\nLearning is supported through practical demonstrations\, handouts and illustrated explanations.\nAsk for more information at atelierdubocage31@gmail.com

SUMMARY:IRT DULMAN spring 2023 France 5 days class botanical printing on CELLULOSE FABRICS\, SILK and WOOL (40h internship)
DESCRIPTION:In the first part of this class I will teach the fundamental aspects in botanical prints on celulose fibers and silk-Mordant and printing. I will teach you how to mordant your fabrics in an innovative way that will allow you to use the mordant as a creative tool and to obtain different results according to your wish. I will teach how to bundle in different ways to obtain clear and sharp print on the natural background and on dyed backgrounds with different tanins. After you practice the fundamental you will be ready to add more fun to the work by using different natural dyes. This will expend the results that could be achieved from plants. You will learn how to achieve discharge effect and how to blend the solid color obtained in the dye pot with the colors that you get from the plants while printing them. We will work with natural dyeing such as : weld (Reseda) for yellows\, Madder for reds\, logwood for purples\, cochineal for fuchsia and Indigo for blues. Then\, I will teach the fundamental aspect in botanical print for silk. I will teach how to print on silk without any mordant\, I will teach you how to mordant silk and how to bundle it for printing. We will have several natural dyes and you can experiment dyeing the silk and print on top of it. This techniques for silk will achieve very colorful results.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               In the second part You will learn what plants can be printed on wool with no mordants. We will explore several techniques to achieve clear and colorful results and other technique that will allow more wild and abstract results. Students will learn about different Tanins\, how to use them and what shades and colors could be obtain from them Wool is a very sensitive material and most close to human hair. In botanical printing it is better to keep techniques simple especially regarding mordants. Students will learn how to bundle in different techniques

SUMMARY:“Discovery through Felt ”( 1/2) Sculptural Felting Workshop Marjolein Dallinga
DESCRIPTION:This  workshop is a discovery journey filled with many experiences of modeling different wools and other fibers. 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 .
