Felt and the Found Object object

This course is postponed to 2023 due to Covid
by Anita Larkin

This workshop is currently not available.

This class will lead students in practical ways of making constructed sculptures using their own found objects. Make sculptures using effective hand-tool methods, screwing, wiring, and riveting things together, looking at ways that narrative can evolve from objects.

The workshop will explore various methods of felting around parts of the sculpture. You will learn different ways to accommodate the migration of the fibres around a solid object thereby achieving a felt of integrity around the object. A pleasing contrast of hard materials against the softness of the felt can be observed when parts of the object are left to protrude.

Larkin is a sessional lecturer in sculpture at The National Art School in Sydney, and has been using feltmaking skills in sculpture since 1994, she has developed innovative methods of making felt around objects that she will share with this class.
