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?
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.
