This is a small scale felt jewelry course focused on layering techniques to build next level ornamental design inspired by metal jewelry mounting techniques of bezel and prong settings and elaborate bails for hanging. Partial felt will be cut to shape a bezel, the reveal hole to see the encased object adding versatility to the […]

This is a multi-tiered hollow form vessel workshop using slab built ceramic form as inspiration. We will be making larger cylindrical forms by joining up panels made from partial felt using two different types of surface texture: resisted plane and raising hollow formed protrusions. We will sculpt the shoulder, neck and mouth of the form […]
Step into the playful, sculptural world of tubular felt forms! In this four-day masterclass, you will design and create your own unique felt sculpture enriched with boldly textured tubes. The shared theme is “playing with tubes,” but every participant will develop a personal form and artistic direction. We begin with a small sample piece, incorporating […]
Let’s dive in to the jungle of 3D felting! In this 2-day felting workshop you will make a very unique and colourful parrot hand puppet of your choice. It is the best way to learn 3D wet felting - birds and animals never disappoint and there are lots of techniques and materials to try. It […]
Anita will lead students in learning practical ways of making sculptural assemblages from their found objects. Students will use effective hand-tool methods, cutting, modelling, screwing, wiring, and riveting things together, as they look at ways that narrative can evolve from joining disparate objects together. Skills in using the Dremel and modelling materials to make seamless […]

This workshop explores looking at wool fibres and felt from the point of view of being a substance for sculpture that can interact with other substances and build upon itself similar to clay. Learn the skill of skin-felting to make hollow sculptural felt forms directly by hand without the use of a plastic resist. This […]
This class is about to create three dimensional Objects such as hats , spheres or bowls, consisting of layered chambers. Those are centeredand describe the inner space symmetrically or asymmetrically by means of structured walls.
Participants will explore the variables in the wet felting process of coercing wool fibers through fabrics of various structures, fiber types, densities and surface design to develop unique surface texture and design modifications. Additionally, shapes cut from sheets of felt that have been partially felted to different levels of integrity will be used to create […]
