Feltmaking, sculptural textures using resists: an Arts Muster workshop

Felt soft wool fibres into robust sculptural shapes with Anita Johnson (Larkin). This workshop will teach you how to use resists in feltmaking. You will create a small wall-hanging and a vessel form with 3-D surface textures like cracked mud, barnacles or rock-pool patterns.

Suitable for ages 16 plus.

This two-day workshop will begin with an introduction to feltmaking, and students will complete a small wall hanging with interesting textural effects reminiscent of cracked mud, rock pools or barnacles.

On the second day, students will make a vessel using the resist method and integrate the techniques from the previous day.

This event is part of the Arts Muster Festival, Huskisson.
