FELT
TEACHING: Sara Coleman.
LEVEL: Initiation / Intermediate / Advanced. .
DURATION: 16 h. (2 days_ 8 h. /day)
No. STUDENTS: Between 7-12 students.
AIMED AT: Creators of any discipline related to Textile, Art or Design: fashion designers, interior designers, artisans, architects and artists who want to develop their work through the textile material.
PRESENTATION
This course is conceived as a space for experimentation and prototyping proposed to know the manual felting technique, its applications in fashion and accessories and other disciplines, offering a wide and interdisciplinary vision of this versatile material. Starting from an initial level to advanced, students go through the experience of making different textile creations, whether by plane, 3D modeling or mixing different fibers with wool, developing creative capacity from the material itself.
PROGRAM
- Presentation. Wool fiber and hand made felting process.
- Relations between Textile Art, Fashion and Architecture.
- Felt applications
WORKSHOP
COURSE 1 / HAND MADE FELTING_ INITIAL and INTERMEDIATE NIVEL_16h.
Basic techniques of handling textile felt:
- 2D felting process.
- 3D felting process.
- Double layer felting process with openings.
- Design and realization of a prototype.
COURSE 2 / 3D FELT _ADVANCED LEVEL_16 h.
Exercise 1: From 2D to 3D.
- Felting spherical volume.
- Modeling three-dimensional pieces.
- 3D felt surfaces.
- Design of a three-dimensional piece of felt.
Exercise 2: Nuno felting (wool+ silk)
- Introduction of nuno felting technic.
- Design and realization of a prototype with nuno technic.
OBJECTIVES
- Understand the technique of modeling felt, its potential and possible applications.
- Develop the creative capacity of the student, from the material itself, through experimentation.
- Learn and investigate techniques and creative processes of transformation, so that it can enrich the students experience. Give them the tools to build relationships to help strengthen their own language.
