About the course
The online course “TEXTURES AND SURFACES” contains my journey as a textile artist who has worked with inspiration, feltmaking medium, and the design process for over twenty years. This course focuses on developing your technical felting skills and the importance of finding inspiration, being motivated, and developing your creative ideas into finished artistic designs and artworks (if wished). This is a sample-making course that supports the participant`s inspiration, vision, and design skills in their future creative projects and focuses on the techniques used in wet felting mediums to create endless possibilities for textured surface design elements. This course requires an independent approach to observing your environment and working with your ideas using exercises, worksheets, videos and guides at your own speed with personal support and feedback from me through your preferences. All participants are welcome to my private Facebook group “Textures & Surfaces in Feltmaking". There will be monthly meetings if you wish to join. MODULES: - Module I "INSPIRATION" - tips for finding and capturing inspiration through textures & surfaces surrounding you and supporting your artistic potential to the highest level with three different exercises and a worksheet. - Module II "LEARNING TECHNIQUES" - learning various wet felting techniques with step-by-step instructions as PDFs and prerecorded videos for learning surface design elements such as fringes, folds, ruffles, raised elements, resist and Shibori felting and creating various textures and surfaces using different materials.
