Textural Vessels

Lifetime Access- fully mentored until December 20, 2026

This class generally takes about two weeks of part time work to complete. I’ve extended my availability in this class to provide more opportunity for you to ask me questions and share your work, as you find time in your schedule to compete the modules. 

 

There are so many exciting surfaces we can create by manipulating prefelt. 

We’ll look at five of them, incorporating them into a highly textured, cylindrical vessel. 

I’ve been wanting to explore these surface manipulations for over a decade, and finally, they found the right time and place to come to life! I’m really excited to share these easy-to-create textures. These surface textures require no resists and no sewing, only knots and folds, some very sharp and crisp and others more fluid and organic. They work together beautifully with a great range of dimensions and unity created through the simple palette. This palette emphasizes the textures and shadows they create. 

 

Workshop Fee:  $195.00 Canadian

View the full materials list HERE.   This class works mainly with wool prefelt and basic felting tools- all easy to acquire and/or make!

I want this to be a fun, immersive experience for you! I’ve spaced out the steps so you won’t feel rushed and can enjoy the process. 

 The project takes between 8-12 hours from absolute start to finish. At any time, you can set your work aside and come back to it when you have time available.  There will be clear possible pause points,  which do allow you to fit this project in between life happening!   But you can also choose to work through it from start to finish, over two – three days.

I answer questions and give comments throughout the entire course in the online classroom, allowing all participating students to learn through one another’s projects.

This class material is presented through videos, downloadable PDF,  with clear text and lots of images, plus online classroom pages. There is no live aspect to this class. You can access the materials at any time, from any time zone and work at a pace that best suits you! 

Class schedule:

October 15th: Classroom opens for Materials Discussions and Introductions. All class materials will be available for you to start your projects. 

December 18th: Last day to post questions or work in the online classroom for feedback.  

December 20th: Last day of discussion in the online classroom space. You still have access to all class materials- videos, PDFs, classroom pages an discussions. 

Workshop materials plus the online classroom discussion, will be available to you indefinitely- for as long as my learning platform exists! You have permanent access to all the learning materials!

If you have any questions at all about this class- please do email me!

 

Have a textural vessel not quite finished? Taken this workshop before?
You may have taken this workshop in previous years!
Maybe seeing it come up again will be a good creative prompt to try out these techniques again- you have lifetime access to all of the workshops you have taken with me. But sometimes it’s nice to join in with a class, for the companionship, extra mentoring and discussion time with me, or for the motivation that a current class can bring! 
 
If you’d like to revisit the class materials along with me and the group, I’ve created a special discount (50% off!) for you! Email me and let me know when you took the class,  and I’ll email you the discount code, so you can refresh your practice and revisit these techniques with support from me and your classmates!
