SUMMARY:TUBULAR! A Masterclass in Felt Sculpture with Tubes by Judit Pócs
DESCRIPTION: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. \nWe begin with a small sample piece\, incorporating one or two tubes to get familiar with the techniques. Throughout the workshop\, you’ll work with sponge rollers used for painting and soft foam tubes from plumbing insulation—our base forms for building the felt layer. These felt-covered tubes will then be integrated into your sculpture and firmly felted onto the surface. \nTo enrich the texture\, you may work with Lyocell or silk fibers\, yarns\, or even shimmering sequin-fabric mosaics to create metallic effects. Contrasting textures bring exciting visual rhythm to the surface. Tubes may remain open and hollow\, or—through a more complex process—the longer ones can be attached at both ends to different surfaces. \nTube-decorated sculptures can evoke a futuristic\, slightly industrial atmosphere\, or lean toward a more organic\, natural feel depending on how you design the base shape. \nJoin us for four days of experimentation\, structure\, and sculptural exploration. \nBe bold\, be playful\, be TUBULAR!

SUMMARY:Parrot hand puppets by Yaroslava Troynich from Bibabopuppets
DESCRIPTION: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. \nIt is the best way to learn 3D wet felting – birds and animals never disappoint and there are lots of techniques and materials to try. \nIt is quite challenging class\, but it gives great opportunity to learn how to design 3D-models for bird-shaped hand puppets\, how to work with different types of wool and fibres\, how to sculpture complicated shapes\, and the very solid base of needle and wet felting. \nThe result will be a gorgeous bird with quite realistic looks and big amount of high quality knowledge to use in your other projects. \nAnd surely lots of fun and positive atmosphere are guaranteed.

SUMMARY:Extra dates! Felt and the Found Object object By Anita Larkin Johnson
DESCRIPTION: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 joins between objects will be shared. The workshop follows on from this object assemblage to explore various methods of felting around parts of the sculpture. Anita will share different ways to accommodate the migration of the fibres around a solid object\, thereby achieving a felt skin of integrity around it. A pleasing contrast of hard materials against the softness of the felt can be observed when parts of the object are left to protrude\, or an object may be left entirely enshrouded in its felt skin. The class will discuss how sculptural assemblage of found objects and the incorporation of felt around sections of them\, can lead to unexpected and emotive narratives in artworks.

SUMMARY:Extra datums! Felt as Substance By Anita Larkin Johnson
DESCRIPTION: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 method allows for complex shapes to be modelled in 3 dimensions directly. This class will also explore the ways that numerous substances interact with the surface of finished felt vessels. Apply gold leaf\, silicone\, wax\, burning\, putty\, tar\, and other substances to felt forms that can transform that felted shape into an object of structural strength\, intrigue\, and beauty. This workshop will leave the felt artist with many new ideas for future felt projects.

SUMMARY:Depth of Surface: Patterning\, Fabric Fusion & Machine Stitching by Lisa Klakulak
DESCRIPTION: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. \nAdditionally\, shapes cut from sheets of felt that have been partially felted to different levels of integrity will be used to create pattern fields as well ast o create a contrasting texture resist. \nFree-motion embroidery will then be implemented to define shape edges\, accent textures and emboss thick felt. \nEnhance your felt work with a fresh surface aesthetic! \nFor this course it is necessary to bring a sewing machine that has feed dogs that drop and a free motion embroidery foot or a darning foot \nImportant to know: the coursework is aimed at studies of composition and aesthetic development rather than finished objects

SUMMARY:Resist-based Pendants: Hollow Forms\, Dimensional Surfaces & Object Encasement By Lisa Klalulak
DESCRIPTION:Participants will explore 3D techniques for creating unique small scale pendants with hanging bails using 2D template resists. \nLearn to encase durable objects to add color\, texture\, material complexity and conceptual relevancy in your work. \nBy simply wrapping fiber around an object\, one doesn’t provide ample space for the fibers to felt and therefore one must employ a resist larger than the object\, which involved just a little calculation! Then\, sculpt hollow form using surface resists to create dimensional planes of felt and embed partial felt within the surface to develop convex protrusions through differential shrinkage.
