Textile translations - nuno felts with stitch and mixed media applications
An opportunity to exploit the nuno felt process with freedom and innovative thinking. You will be encouraged to challenge the use of material and experiment creatively with keen observation of form, process and scale in design. This is an intense and stimulating workshop within a wide creative context. During the course you will develop an art piece that is inspired by natural forms that can combine handmade felt and photographic image together as a finished piece. One inspires the other and the skill is to use both mediums together in translating the image into felt.
You may make a set of pieces within a theme or concentrate on one larger piece. Expect to be encouraged to challenge the use of materials and experiment creatively by embracing other craft techniques and explore ways of enriching the surface textures of felted cloth.
Instruction will be given in colour blending, subtle use of pre-felts, laminating and cutwork, collage, overlaying of materials and keen observation of form and design. Working with found objects and many other fascinating techniques will be part of this intense and creative course. The tutor will advise on printing and resist techniques with natural dyes, pleating and stitch work and offer instruction on developing decorative surfaces using needle felt techniques and the embellishing machine to enrich the materials stock.
