Filz-Herbst-Workshops 2023 in Waltensburg - Solid Form Felting Techniques

Explore solid felt forms of spheres, barrels, cones, cords and hoops.

Learn graceful connection techniques for wet felting these basic forms together to make more complex clasps, hinges and undulating cords applicable for adornment, wearable closures and/or sculptural elements.

Learn the appropriate tension and crosshatched preparation for dry wrapping and needle felting when preparing forms for wet felting.

This technical sequence provides ample air space for shrinkage resulting in well-integrated surfaces that won’t pill! Additionally, explore the incorporation of partially felted shapes in the dry preparation to create more geometric forms by providing specific areas of greater felt density.
