Dagmar Binder Workshop in Stratford 22 - 24 April 2016

Dagmar-Binder_halbkugelThere is still one space available in Dagmar's workshop, beginning fri 22nd April, be in quick, contact Bernice via the editor email.


Workshop for experienced felters (3 days)
From a flat surface to 3D forms experimenting with 3D felted objects
In this workshop we want to explore various possibilities of how to build up reliefs or 3-dimensional felted objects.
We will start with a number of basic form elements that can be combined, lined up or interlaced with each other and unfolded after the felting process.
You will have the chance to play and experiment with different versions, but there's always some indispensable technical aspects to consider, for example:
Which combination of materials will suit a certain project?
What to pay attention to when laying out wool fibers and the resists? How do changes in line up or interlacing of all single basic forms influence the final felt object?
Which effects can be achieved with different colour settings?
How to calculate (or at least estimate) shrinkage? How can a felted object be stiffened?
This workshop will offer a variety of suggestions and perspectives, that you can apply to future works in many ways.
