Raised Surfaces: Self Paced Tutorial
Workshop Fee: $58.00 CDN
The full materials list is available HERE.
Raised Surfaces create great textural dimension through the construction of felt forms that rise up and over the surface of our felt. By repeating these forms, we establish a strong sense of movement, creating felt canopies of leaves or waves, a floating garden of felt or silk blossoms, or dancing, twisting bone-like structures.
We make a series of samples in this class. These techniques can be applied to a vast range of felting projects including wall hangings, vessels, sculptures, bags, and even garments, for the bold!
This is an intermediate level class- for those with some feltmaking experience.
We’ll look at stems, loops, branches, blossoms, canopies, seedpods, quills, vines and raised prefelts, making a series of samples for your felt reference library. Eight different techniques in all that take your surface design up into the dimensional!
These are techniques I’ve used in so many of my exhibition pieces over the last twelve years. I’ve added some pictures of these at the bottom of the page. It’s such a pleasure to share these dramatic surfaces with you through this class!
This is a self paced tutorial. You have access to the full online classroom, with videos, PDFs, and online classroom pages, and can work through the lessons at your own pace, anytime you want. This is not a supported classes- there aren’t any ongoing discussions but the instructions are very thorough and time proven! You have lifetime access to the class materials.
Please do email Fiona if you have any questions about the class.
Here are some examples of how I have included some of the Raised Surfaces in my work. These are mainly garments, but these are equally applicable to use on vessels, sculptures, bags and wallhangings:
