In this 5-day workshop at a destination craft school pop-up, explore mixing media of wood and wool with fiber artist Lisa Klakulak and wood turner and texturer extraoridinaire, Graeme Priddle. Both of these fibers (cellulose and protein) have a linear microscopic structure (grain and filament) that informs the processes of textural manipulation. Both materials are […]
5-day in person workshop at a destination craft school on a working farm. Explore thickness of layout and densities of partially felted sheets of wool for patterning effects, texture resists and edging techniques when fusing wool through fabrics. Incorporate surprising substrates and a variety to be used to trap found objects under and in fabric […]
In this 5-day in person workshop learn technique for layout/wrapping of various 2D resist template shapes in a consistent thinness of wool fiber while simultaneously integrating distinct areas of denser layout and partial felt shapes to explore differences of shrinkage as a means of sculpting surface relief and hollow form. In addition to raising form […]
Edition 10 will run May 11- July 20 with platform access through September 28, 2025. Develop an in-depth understanding of foundational structure for refinement, strength and flexibility in wet felting based on the concept of space for the wool filaments to move and the direction of encouragement by the maker. Multi-dimensional form will be constructed […]
Edition 3 of Course 2 will run July 13-September 28 with platform access through December 14, 2025. Develop an in-depth understanding of ways to apply shapes cut from your own prepared sheets of partial felt made from various weights of layout and densities of fulling. Create shape definition in Solid Forms, on Patterned Surfaces, and […]
Edition 11 will run September 28- December 7, 2025 with platform access through February 15, 2026. Develop an in-depth understanding of foundational structure for refinement, strength and flexibility in wet felting based on the concept of space for the wool filaments to move and the direction of encouragement by the maker. Multi-dimensional form will be […]
Learn technique for layout/wrapping of various 2D resist template shapes in a consistent thinness of wool fiber while simultaneously integrating distinct areas of denser partial felt shapes to exploring extreme differential shrinkage as a means of sculpting surface relief and unique hollow form. Participants will make partially felted sheets of fiber in varying thicknesses and […]
Edition 12 will run February 22- May 3, 2026 with platform access through July 12, 2026. Develop an in-depth understanding of foundational structure for refinement, strength and flexibility in wet felting based on the concept of space for the wool filaments to move and the direction of encouragement by the maker. Multi-dimensional form will be […]
