About the course
The online course “TEXTURES AND SURFACES” contains my personal journey as a textile artist who has worked with inspiration, feltmaking skills, and the design process for over twenty years by now. 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. 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 and with the 1-2-1 mentorship guiding you through the process of completing the course by maximising your artistic growth and taking your work to the new level. All participants are welcome to my private Facebook group “Textures & Surfaces in Feltmaking"!
